NMFC 147650 - Military Repair Kits in Boxes | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List NMFC 147650 and Class 77.5 on the BOL; describe as military repair kits for pneumatic floats, plywood boats, or pontoons in boxes to avoid misrating.
2. Cushion and segregate components: protect patch fabric and plywood panels from creasing, bag metal fittings to prevent abrasion, and secure adhesives or sealants in leakproof inner packs.
3. Use sturdy double-wall cartons and H-tape closures; palletize on 48x40 pallets with corner boards and stretch wrap so mixed kits stay together through LTL hubs.
4. Verify contents are non-hazardous per listing; if any flammable adhesives are included, route them separately under the proper hazmat item rather than mixing in these boxes.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 77.5 removes density surprises, so quotes match invoices even when kits combine metal parts and fabric patches.
• Lower accessorial risk: non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and special handling charges, reducing total landed cost for repair depots and shipyards.
• Faster rating and tendering: a single NMFC for boxed kits streamlines TMS setup, BOL prep, and carrier negotiations across routine replenishment lanes.
• Fewer claims and reclasses: correct packaging and precise descriptions minimize transit damage and NMFC disputes, protecting margins on government or contractor work.
