NMFC 163600 - Quartermasters' Stores Group | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use this group as an index, then pick the exact NMFC item for what you’re shipping (e.g., tentage, webbing, mess kits, cot frames) and list that item on the BOL.
2. For mixed pallets, line-item each commodity or declare the dominant NMFC with quantities and weights; attach a packing list to avoid reclass and delays.
3. If the chosen item is density-based, measure each handling unit and record L x W x H and weight (e.g., tri-wall 48x40x30 at 180 lb) to set the right class.
4. Package to military-grade expectations: banded pallets for hardware, crates for metal parts, poly-lined cartons for textiles; mark contents clearly and include the specific NMFC items.

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

• Avoid reclass and rebill fees by using item-specific NMFC codes instead of the group header.
• Unlock sharper LTL rates and FAK tiers with precise item numbers and accurate packaging details.
• Speed up quoting and tendering when each line lists the proper NMFC, packaging type, and measured density where applicable.
• Improve claims outcomes through clear itemization and fit-for-purpose packaging that reduces transit damage disputes.
