Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
28720.00 Bowls, mixing or baby feeding, glass or metal, with rubber suction base, in boxes 85

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Wrap each glass bowl and protect the rubber suction base from compression; bag the base so it doesn’t stick to corrugate or pick up debris.
  2. For metal mixing bowls, use paper or poly sleeves to prevent scuffs and choose double‑wall cartons with corner protection for nested sets.
  3. Add dividers or molded inserts so baby feeding bowls, lids, and spoons don’t rattle; mark cartons Fragile and This Side Up to safeguard the suction cups.
  4. Palletize square to the deck with no overhang, use top/bottom sheets to keep suction bases from bonding to cardboard, then strap and stretch‑wrap without crushing.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing: fixed Class 85 avoids density disputes and delivers faster, cleaner LTL quotes.
  • Reduced accessorial risk: non‑hazardous, boxed housewares minimize reclass and special handling fees.
  • Stronger claims position: packaging aligned to NMFC 28720 improves survivability and lowers OS&D incidents.
  • Simplified ops: one listing covers glass or metal suction‑base bowls, streamlining BOL descriptions and SKU mapping.
