How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack nets and related hand tools in sturdy boxes or crated kits; bag the netting to prevent snags, and place tools in inner cartons with edge guards.
  2. Mark the BOL: “NMFC 147140 – Camouflage Net, Class 85.” Include piece counts for boxes/crates and avoid density-based entries, since this item is not density-rated.
  3. For palletized LTL, strap boxes/crates with corner protectors; keep heavier tools low in the skid and add desiccants for humid or coastal routes.
  4. Review the note for item 147142 to confirm contents qualify as camouflage equipment, and exclude unrelated hardware that could trigger reclassification.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 85 enables fast, comparable quotes across carriers and lanes, reducing time-to-tender.
  • Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and broadens carrier options for standard LTL service.
  • Single-line coverage for nets and necessary tools streamlines paperwork, cuts handling touches, and lowers claim risk.
  • Box/crate packaging aligns with terminal best practices, helping prevent reclass fees and delays on defense or outdoor contracts.
