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:

  1. List NMFC 182370 and Class 60 on the BOL exactly as: “Tile, glass, other than mirror, in boxes” to avoid reclass or inspection delays.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 60 rating delivers predictable LTL quotes and minimizes reclass fees—no density calculation required.
  • 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.
  • Standard cartonized pallets cube efficiently, improving trailer utilization and helping secure better CWT-based freight rates.
