NMFC 137470 - Rear View Mirrors in Boxes | Class 175

Note 137471: NOTE-Also applies on rear view mirrors that incorporate additional features or functionality, such as, but not limited to, automatic dimming, garage door opener operating controls, and displays for temperature, direction or driver alerts.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack each mirror in a snug, double‑wall box with foam or molded pulp cradles; bag and isolate mounting hardware so metal cannot contact the glass.
2. Fill voids to prevent rattle, add edge protectors across the mirror face, and label cartons “Fragile Glass” and “Do Not Crush” for clearer handling cues.
3. For dealer or e‑commerce kits, use partitioned master cartons with corrugated cells; keep individual inners under 30 lb to reduce drop damage risk.
4. Palletize with zero overhang, orient cartons upright, add a top pad, then wrap and strap firmly; only select needed accessorials to avoid extra fees.

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

• Predictable costing via fixed Class 175—no density calculations or reclass surprises when shipped in boxes.
• Fewer damage claims by isolating hardware and cushioning glass, cutting replacement and return costs.
• Faster quoting and routing thanks to a defined NMFC line item, streamlining dealer and body shop replenishment.
• Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and eliminates hazmat surcharges in mixed LTL moves.
