NMFC 98700 - Military Steel Helmets, Boxed | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use sturdy corrugated boxes with dividers or sleeves; pad rims and chinstrap hardware so steel parts can’t rub. Bag detached liners or bands to prevent abrasion.
2. Mark the BOL with “NMFC 98700, Class 100 – steel helmets” and list cartons and units per carton. This supports clean inspections and avoids reclass fees.
3. Palletize in even layers with a top cap, stretch wrap, and corner boards. Band securely without deforming shells; keep carton weights manageable for LTL handling.
4. For longer routes or storage, add moisture barriers and desiccant to limit surface corrosion. Inspect surplus or used helmets for loose hardware before sealing boxes.

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

• Fixed Class 100 eliminates density calculations, speeding quotes and reducing surprise reclass charges.
• Boxed packaging aligns with the listing, cutting damage claims on rigid metal goods and keeping claims ratios low.
• Flexibility to ship with liners or bands attached or detached supports diverse kitting, resale, and training needs.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and streamlines tendering, leading to faster pickups and steadier rates.
