How to Use This Classification
- Use NMFC 109000 to locate the specific named lamp, lantern, fixture, or part entry; the final freight class is assigned at the item level, not this group header.
- Package fragile components like glass shades and bulbs separately in double‑wall cartons with foam-in-place or molded inserts; remove bulbs and secure cords and hardware.
- For larger fixtures (e.g., 12‑light chandelier or tall floor lamp), crate or palletize upright, cap the base, add corner protection, and label Do Not Stack and This Side Up.
- Call out materials on paperwork—glass, metal, plastic, LED assemblies—and note packaging (carton, crate, pallet) to help carriers verify the correct named-item classification quickly.
Business Value
- Accurate grouping under NMFC 109000 speeds quoting and prevents reclass fees by guiding your team to the correct named-item entry.
- Right-size packaging for fragile lighting reduces damage claims and return costs, improving delivery performance for retail installs and jobsite schedules.
- Clear item/material details shorten carrier inspections, reducing delays and accessorials tied to inspections or OS&D handling.
- Consolidating multiple small fixtures on a single pallet improves handling efficiency and can lower LTL minimum charges per delivery.
