NMFC 146285 - Gun Bore Additive Liners | Class 70

Note 146287: NOTE-Applies only on jackets or liners fabricated of cloth coated with a mixture of wax and titanium dioxide, with or without a plastic film facing.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the item fits the description “jackets or liners, gun bore wear reducing additive” and reference the NMFC note for item 146287; keep product packed in boxes to maintain Class 70.
2. Use poly bags or barrier paper to contain any lubricant residue, then add partitions or trays so liners don’t rub and mar surfaces during LTL handling.
3. Select sturdy corrugated cartons (32 ECT or 200# burst as weight dictates), fill voids with kraft or foam, and mark cartons with NMFC 146285 and Class 70.
4. Unitize cartons on a 4‑way pallet, strap and wrap tightly, and avoid co-loading with live ammunition to prevent confusion at pickup and terminal checks.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
