NMFC 146550 - Iron Projectile Bands | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use robust boxes or crates and interleave rings with VCI paper or oil-treated wrap to prevent corrosion; avoid loose bands. Example: 50 bands per carton with corrugated dividers.
2. Palletize low and tight: add slip sheets, corner boards, and two perpendicular steel or poly straps to stop ring-shift and rolling during cross-dock transfers.
3. Clearly mark each package and the BOL with NMFC 146550, Class 60, item description, piece count, and total weight to minimize reweighs or inspection delays.
4. Route as non-hazardous ordnance components; if delivering to depots or secure facilities, note limited access and appointment needs to prevent accessorial surprises.

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

• Fixed Class 60 enables predictable LTL pricing and cleaner benchmarking across carriers and lanes.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and specialized paperwork, speeding tender and pickup approvals.
• Dense iron packaged correctly lowers damage risk, reducing claims and cycle time in defense supply chains.
• Accurate NMFC identification curbs reclass penalties and accessorials, improving landed cost and margins.
