NMFC 146650 - Pyrotechnic Dischargers in Boxes | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the exact product type (new, spent, or inert training units) and keep items in manufacturer boxes with part numbers; e.g., automotive pretensioner dischargers in OEM cartons.
2. Mark cartons: “Non-Hazardous — NMFC 146650, Class 85.” Attach an SDS or manufacturer letter stating non-hazardous status to prevent unnecessary hazmat holds.
3. Use snug dividers or foam so connectors, arming pins, or housings don’t rub; keep orientation arrows visible and avoid overhang when palletizing.
4. Provide accurate piece count, box dimensions, and stack limits at tender; request appointments or limited access service if shipping from secure facilities or test ranges.

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

• Fixed Class 85 rating delivers predictable LTL quotes and fewer reclass disputes.
• Non-hazardous designation reduces accessorials, avoids hazmat routing, and shortens transit times.
• Standard boxed packaging lowers damage and loss risk for sensitive actuation components, cutting claim exposure.
• Clear labeling and documentation speed carrier acceptance and dock workflows, improving turn times and capacity access.
