How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use sealed, double‑wall cartons with an inner poly bag to contain fibers; ideal for insulation batts, filter media, or acoustic rolls.
  2. Palletize cartons tightly, add corner boards and a top sheet, then strap; avoid placing heavy freight on top to prevent compression damage.
  3. Mark cartons “Glass Wool — Boxed, NMFC 200100, Class 200” and list piece count; this helps carriers verify the fixed class quickly.
  4. Apply this item only when the material is boxed; loose, bagged, or bundled glass wool may rate under different NMFC items.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable billing at Class 200 reduces reclass fees and inspection delays for fiberglass shipments.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges or paperwork.
  • Boxed packaging improves claim outcomes by preventing fiber shed and contamination in transit.
  • Clear, packaging-based classification speeds quoting and tendering, helping you lock in rates faster for light, bulky freight.
