How to Determine Your Class

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.

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 70 rating simplifies rating logic and reduces reclass disputes, keeping invoice totals predictable.
  • Non-hazardous status removes hazmat surcharges and carrier limitations, widening carrier options and lowering accessorial risk.
  • Box-only packaging streamlines warehouse workflows and minimizes damage, reducing claims and cycle time to customer.
  • Clear ordnance categorization helps defense and sporting-goods suppliers align compliance documentation, accelerating quote-to-ship timelines.
