NMFC 36595 - Unassembled Sliding Door Frames | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. State NMFC 36595 and Class 70 on the BOL, describing the cargo as “extruded aluminum sliding glass door frames, unassembled, boxed,” and include piece count and longest carton length.
2. Use rigid, double‑wall cartons with end‑caps, foam rails, and corner guards to prevent bending and finish rub. Bag small fittings and secure them inside each box (e.g., 96 in. frame members with hardware).
3. Flag overlength cartons (>96–108 in., carrier dependent) with handling labels and consider telescoping cartons to reduce length. If combining cartons, band them to a flush pallet with no overhang for safer handling.
4. Do not mix glass panels or assembled doors on this line item; this covers unassembled aluminum frames only. Mark Non‑Haz and photograph packaging at pickup for clean claims support.

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

• Fixed Class 70 removes density disputes and reclass fees, delivering predictable LTL quotes and smoother audits.
• Unassembled aluminum members ship in compact boxes, lowering cube versus assembled doors and reducing linehaul costs per unit.
• Hardware and fittings can ride in the same carton under this item, simplifying paperwork and minimizing per‑piece handling charges.
• Boxed, protected extrusions cut finish damage and OS&D claims, saving replacement costs and cycle time on projects.
