103760.00 Spark Plug, glass or pottery or glass or pottery and metal combined, in boxes 70

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Apply Class 70 for boxed spark plugs made of glass, ceramic (pottery), or glass/metal combinations; no density calculation needed.
  2. Use snug inner protection—molded pulp cradles, foam cells, or corrugated partitions—to keep brittle insulators from touching and chipping in transit.
  3. Palletize cartons with edge protectors and stretch wrap; avoid placing heavy auto parts above these boxes and keep stack heights conservative to limit crush risk.
  4. List “NMFC 103760, Class 70, Non-Haz” on the BOL, and photograph the packout (inner cushions and partitions) to support claims and smooth carrier inspections.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable mid-tier Class 70 rating stabilizes LTL quotes and helps prevent costly reclass or inspection fees.
  • Non-hazardous status lowers compliance burden and reduces accessorial risk, streamlining carrier acceptance.
  • Boxed-only packaging specification simplifies quoting and dock handling, cutting damage rates and claim payouts for fragile glass/ceramic parts.
  • Simple classification (no density or dims required) speeds tendering for aftermarket distributors, remanufacturers, and restoration shops, saving time and admin costs.
