How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Calculate density from the boxed shipment: measure the carton (e.g., 24 x 16 x 14 in = 3.11 cu ft), weigh it, then lbs ÷ cu ft to select the class within 50–400.
  2. Use rigid double‑wall cartons with foam corners and face protection; secure the glass and lamp housing, wrap the power cord, and cushion detachable magnifying panels.
  3. Mark cartons FRAGILE and THIS SIDE UP; keep mirrors upright on pallets, no overhang, add corner boards and a top sheet to discourage top loading.
  4. On the BOL, list Cosmetic mirrors with electric lights, boxed — NMFC 137370, Item 170, density‑based, and include the actual density to prevent reclass.

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

Business Value

  • Density-based rating enables lower freight class by reducing cube with right-size boxes and efficient cushioning.
  • Accurate NMFC reference and stated density minimize carrier reweigh/reclass fees and speed tendering in LTL networks.
  • Protective boxing for glass and electronics cuts damage claims, avoiding reships and safeguarding customer satisfaction.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and keeps standard service levels, improving transit times and rates.
