NMFC 156810: Pyroxylin Film/Sheets in Glass Bottles | 500

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Declare NMFC 156810, Class 500 on the BOL and list packaging as boxes containing glass bottles; density data is not required for this item.
2. Use double‑wall cartons with molded inserts or dividers around each bottle to prevent glass‑to‑glass contact and protect the film from scuffing.
3. Palletize with no overhang, add top/bottom sheets, and block/strap cartons; avoid stacking heavy freight above due to internal glass components.
4. Mark cartons with “Glass Inside” and orientation arrows; keep out of excessive heat and moisture to preserve film clarity and dimensional stability.

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

• Single, fixed Class 500 streamlines quoting and avoids reclass delays, improving tender-to-pickup speed.
• Protective packing for glass reduces damage claims, return freight, and replacement costs on specialty film materials.
• Clear packaging and labeling help carriers handle carefully, cutting accessorials tied to inspection or repack.
• Optimizing carton count and pallet configuration supports better LTL rates and minimizes cubic-related charges for high-class freight.
