Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 182370.00 | Tile, glass, other than mirror, in boxes | 60 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List NMFC 182370 and Class 60 on the BOL exactly as: “Tile, glass, other than mirror, in boxes” to avoid reclass or inspection delays.
- Pack tiles in sturdy corrugated boxes with foam or divider cells; keep tiles upright, mark Fragile/Glass and This Side Up, and seal seams with reinforced tape.
- Palletize cartons on a 40x48 full‑deck pallet with no overhang; use slip sheets between layers, corner boards, and stretch wrap tightly before adding two polyester bands.
- Request Do Not Top Load and use edge protectors under bands; example: cap the pallet with a flat sheet to spread strap pressure and reduce breakage.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

- Boxed packaging aligns with item language, strengthening claims support if damage occurs and simplifying paperwork.
- Carrier selection focused on fragile-handling performance lowers OS&D risk and protects freight budgets for project deliveries.
