NMFC 146410 - Empty AP/AT Mines | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the items are inert and empty, then mark each package clearly as EMPTY/INERT. List NMFC 146410 and Class 85 on the BOL to avoid reclass.
2. Use sturdy cartons or wooden crates with foam or dividers so casings cannot move. Protect fins, threads, and edges from abrasion and impact.
3. Ship strictly in packages as required by the tariff—no loose or exposed pieces. If palletizing, palletize packaged boxes, not bare casings.
4. Provide supporting documentation or photos when requesting carrier approval, especially for ordnance-shaped items, to speed acceptance and avoid delays.

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

• Fixed Class 85 simplifies rating and quoting—no density math, reducing reweigh/reclass fees and disputes.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and eliminates hazmat surcharges, lowering total landed cost.
• Packaging-only requirement minimizes handling risk and claim exposure, helping maintain better damage ratios and insurance terms.
• Clear labeling and documentation accelerate dock throughput and cut detention time, improving schedule reliability for defense contractors and recyclers.
