Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 110310.00 | Glaziers' (Lead Cames), in boxes, crates or drums, or on reels | 60 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 110310 on the BOL with “Glaziers' lead cames,” mark Class 60, and note Non-Hazardous for clarity with carriers.
- Use rigid boxes or wood crates for straight lengths; block ends and band to a pallet to stop bending during LTL handling.
- If shipping on reels or in drums, palletize, add edge protectors, and secure the core to prevent unwinding or deformation.
- Provide piece count and pallet dimensions for pricing and dock handling (e.g., 48x40x12 in, 220 lb), even though class isn’t density-based.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 60 keeps rates predictable and typically lower for dense lead profiles.
- Simple, non-density rating reduces reclass and dispute risk, cutting unexpected fees.
- Proper boxing/crating minimizes bending damage and claims, protecting stained-glass project timelines.
- Clear NMFC labeling accelerates quotes and carrier acceptance, improving dock throughput.
