NMFC 25325 - Plastic Windshields w/wo Frames | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. List the cargo as “Windshields, plastic, with or without frames or fittings – NMFC 25325” on the BOL, and note the piece count and packaging (e.g., 2 crated, 1 boxed).
2. Prevent scratches and pressure points: keep protective film on the plastic, add foam edge guards, and use soft separators between nested curved panels.
3. Choose rigid packaging for LTL: a floating-frame crate or a double-wall box on a pallet with corner posts, V-boards, and “Do Not Stack/This Side Up” labels.
4. Secure frames/fittings so they can’t rub the lens; bag hardware separately or isolate it inside the crate to avoid abrasion during transit.

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

• Accurate named-item description (NMFC 25325) reduces reclass fees and billing disputes, keeping quotes aligned with invoices.
• Damage prevention for scratch‑sensitive plastic lowers OS&D claims, saving replacement costs and avoiding missed marina or dealer deadlines.
• Optimized nesting with foam spacers increases pack density, helping control cube and potential cubic minimum charges on LTL moves.
• Purpose-built crating improves carrier acceptance and handling, enabling broader carrier options and more competitive freight rates.
