NMFC 172420 - Sash Parts or Window Frame Parts | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the full NMFC on your BOL: “Sash Parts or Window Frame Parts, airplane or railway car, boxed/crated — NMFC 172420, Class 100” to prevent reclass.
2. Match packaging to geometry: crate long extrusions or assembled frames with end-blocking and foam edge guards; use heavy-wall boxes with interior dividers for small kits.
3. Protect finishes and combat corrosion: wrap anodized aluminum or painted steel with non-abrasive film and VCI paper; add desiccant for humid routes.
4. Mark handling clearly: apply Do Not Stack where needed, show lift points on crates, and indicate orientation to avoid twist or bow damage during cross-docking.

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

• Fixed Class 100 simplifies rating and quoting—no density calculations and fewer reweigh or reclass fees.
• Proper boxing or crating minimizes damage and claims on high-value OEM and MRO window assemblies and components.
• Accurate NMFC usage speeds terminal handling and reduces carrier disputes, protecting tight hangar and rail yard maintenance schedules.
• Predictable class supports stable LTL rates and cleaner TMS rules, improving cost control across supplier-to-plant and depot lanes.
