NMFC 146390 - Mine Water Sweeping Kites | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Document the build type—solid iron or wood-and-iron—and note any protruding foils or vanes; bag and tag loose hardware to prevent loss in transit.
2. Crate on a 4-way entry skid, bolting through mounting lugs and blocking the leading and trailing edges; use edge protectors and polyester strapping to prevent chafe.
3. Apply corrosion control for ocean-adjacent routes: VCI wrap, desiccant packs, and heat-sealed poly, then mark center of gravity and lift points on the crate.
4. List NMFC 146390 on the BOL with full dimensions and post-pack weight; include delivery contact for port or base access and verify any EAR/ITAR screening if applicable.

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

• Non-hazardous ordnance equipment broadens carrier options and can lower LTL rates versus hazmat-designated cargo.
• Clear NMFC reference reduces reclass bills, inspections, and accessorial surprises tied to ambiguous descriptions.
• Rigid crating and corrosion mitigation cut the likelihood of fin or vane damage, minimizing claims and downtime.
• Accurate specs and site pre-clearance speed port or defense-facility deliveries, improving project timelines and labor utilization.
