NMFC 15195 - Ashtrays, Glass/Metal + Pouch, Boxed | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use snug inner cartons or partitions: wrap each glass/metal ashtray, bag the weighted pouch to prevent bead or sand leaks, and immobilize both inside the box.
2. Choose sturdy corrugated boxes: single-wall for single units, double-wall for multi-packs or hospitality case packs (e.g., 12–24 units) with 2–3 inches of cushioning.
3. Weigh every carton accurately. This item ships at fixed Class 85 without density calculations, so carriers bill from actual or dimensional weight and declared count.
4. Mark FRAGILE/GLASS where applicable and stack light. Place soft pouches facing inward to avoid pressure points that can crack rims during transit.

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

• Predictable rating at Class 85 reduces reclass risks and audit fees, making quotes consistent for hospitality and retail replenishment.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines carrier selection and tendering, enabling faster LTL bookings and broader service coverage.
• Correct boxing and inner protection cut breakage and leakage claims, preserving margins on bulk orders for casinos, hotels, and smoke shops.
• No density math required saves rating time and improves TMS automation, helping teams price and route shipments more efficiently.
