NMFC 146670: Small Arms Ammo Racks | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Quote and bill LTL as Class 85 under NMFC 146670 for empty small arms ammunition racks packaged in boxes or crates.
2. Choose crating when racks have sharp brackets or welded tabs; use heavy cartons with foam, corner boards, and banding for smoother rack designs.
3. Disassemble where possible and bag fasteners; label boxes with contents and orientation so armories or ranges can stage and reassemble quickly.
4. Note this covers rack equipment only. If racks are shipped loaded with ammo, verify hazmat rules and a different NMFC before tender.

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

• Predictable pricing with fixed Class 85 eliminates density disputes and reclass charges.
• Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat paperwork and accessorial fees, speeding tender and pickup.
• Boxed/crated packaging reduces damage risk on metal frames, lowering claims and turnaround costs for armories and OEMs.
• Standard classification simplifies multi-stop projects for police departments, ranges, and defense suppliers, improving consolidation and rate negotiations.
