NMFC 182570 - Ceramic Tile or Molding NOI | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use rigid cartons or wood crates with edge guards; interleave foam or paper between glazed faces to prevent scuffing on 12x24 tiles and trim pieces.
2. Mark the BOL with NMFC 182570, Class 60, and “ceramic/clay tile or molding, NOI”; note glazed/unglazed and any backing for clean audits.
3. Provide piece count, total weight, and the outer box or crate dimensions for quoting; class stays 60, no density calculation needed.
4. For jobsite or showroom deliveries, schedule liftgate and limited-access service, and request no top-stacking over fragile tile cartons.

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

• Predictable Class 60 pricing reduces reclass risk and surprise charges, stabilizing LTL costs for tile distributors and contractors.
• Broad coverage—glazed or unglazed, with or without backing—streamlines SKU classification across mixed tile and molding shipments.
• Boxes or crates align with carrier handling standards, cutting breakage and claim costs while keeping projects on schedule.
• Non-hazardous status widens carrier options and improves transit flexibility during seasonal construction demand spikes.
