NMFC 147710: Military Field Engineer Outfit | Class 70

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.

• 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.
