NMFC 146750 - Shell Packing Stops, Steel | Class 65

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package small steel stops in heavy-duty cartons or pails with dividers and VCI liners to prevent scuffing and corrosion; avoid loose metal-on-metal contact.
2. Keep individual box weights manageable (around 40–60 lb) and list part numbers and piece counts on each package to speed receiving at defense or automotive facilities.
3. Palletize low and tight: distribute weight evenly, add corner boards and a top cap, then stretch-wrap and band. Do not mix SKUs in the same carton.
4. Bill as NMFC 146750, Class 65, non-hazardous. Write “Shell Packing Stops, steel, in packages” on the BOL to prevent reclass and inspection delays.

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