How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack tools in sturdy double‑wall boxes with foam, dividers, or cut‑cell inserts; bag small fasteners and mark sharp edges with guards.
  2. Balance weight by placing heavier digging tools low and centered; keep parts trays or pouches on top to prevent crushing.
  3. Include a detailed contents list (e.g., hand tools, stakes, cordage) to match the Outfits Group description and speed inspections.
  4. For multi‑box shipments, number each box (1 of 3, 2 of 3), strap to a pallet, and label “Field Engineer Outfit—Manual” to avoid reclass.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable Class 70 rating for mixed manual tools reduces reclass risks and surprise accessorials.
  • Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps avoid hazmat surcharges or delays.
  • Outfits Group coverage lets you ship a complete kit as one classification, simplifying billing and inventory.
  • Consistent NMFC mapping streamlines quoting and budgeting for defense contractors, disaster response suppliers, and engineering teams.
