How to Use This Classification

  • Identify the glass form and use case, then choose the correct note: sheets/panels vs glassware. Example: crated plate glass likely differs from boxed bottles.
  • Follow packaging guidance in the referenced note: edge protectors, cushioning, blocking/bracing. Use wooden crates for panes; partitioned double‑wall cartons for bottles.
  • Record exact dimensions, weight, and piece count per handling unit. After picking the note item, your TMS can assign the correct NMFC and class.
  • Mark Fragile and Keep Upright, add tilt/shock indicators, and consider Do Not Stack cones for large panes to prevent pressure damage in transit.

Business Value

  • Avoid reclassifications and inspection delays by mapping to the correct note item before tendering the load.
  • Lower OS&D and claims by meeting the packaging specifics for fragile glass, reducing replacement and labor costs.
  • Accelerate quoting and pickup scheduling since carriers see the exact NMFC tie‑in and packing method upfront.
  • Improve rate outcomes by crating or partitioning as prescribed, boosting carrier acceptance and minimizing accessorial risk.
