Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
35540.00 Windows (Sash or Sash and Frames combined), NOI, glazed, with or without screens or necessary hardware:

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm your product matches the NOI: glazed windows as sash only or sash with frames, with or without screens or necessary hardware. Note tempered or laminated glass on paperwork.
  2. Package upright on an A-frame crate or braced pallet. Add corner guards, foam, and corrugated interleave, then strap and stretch-wrap. Use tilt and shock indicators plus Do Not Stack cones.
  3. Measure exterior frame size and thickness after crating. Avoid pallet overhang and record total weight and piece count, including any boxed screens or bagged hardware.
  4. Plan delivery needs: request liftgate, residential or jobsite delivery, and appointment if required. Mark Keep Upright and No Top Load to guide terminal handling.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate NOI use minimizes reclass fees and unexpected inspections, keeping LTL costs predictable.
  • Impact-resistant packing (A-frames, bracing, indicators) reduces glass breakage and claim exposure.
  • Right-sized crates and upright loading lower cubic penalties and oversize charges on fragile freight.
  • Clear counts and accessorial planning cut delays, redelivery fees, and jobsite downtime.
