NMFC 168730 - Indoor Shooting Ranges KD | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the commodity on the BOL as “Indoor Shooting Range, KD or Parts – NMFC 168730 – Class 85,” and note example contents (e.g., ballistic panels, target carriers, booth frames).
2. Box components in double‑wall cartons with corner and edge protection; if palletizing boxed kits, add blocking and plastic banding to prevent shift during LTL handling.
3. Pre-arrange needed accessorials—liftgate for heavy steel panels, appointment at training facilities, or limited access at police departments and academies.
4. Separate line items by kit type (e.g., “Target rail kit – 6 boxes” vs “Acoustic baffle set – 4 boxes”) with counts and weights to speed dock checks and avoid reclass.

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