How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use rigid mirror or picture-frame cartons with foam corner protectors and edge guards; wrap wood, metal, or resin frames to prevent scuffs.
- For multiple units, pack each frame individually, then place into a master carton; if palletizing, avoid overhang, strap securely, and stretch-wrap to the skid.
- State NMFC 137830 and “Mirror or Picture Frame, NOI, in packages” on the BOL; apply Class 92.5. Density is not needed for classing, but include weight and dimensions for rating.
- Mark Fragile and add orientation arrows; request limited-stacking cones when appropriate, and avoid mixing with heavy items that could shift during transit.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
