NMFC 41600 - Eyeglass Case Shipments in Boxes | Class 150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack eyeglass or spectacle cases in sturdy corrugated boxes to meet the classification’s packaging requirement; add dividers or polybags to prevent scuffs on hard-shell finishes.
2. Bundle small units into inner packs (e.g., 10–24 cases per inner) so counts are consistent for retailers and 3PLs, then place inners into a master carton.
3. Palletize small cartons together to avoid loss: use a 40x48 pallet, shrink wrap tightly, and add corner boards to resist compression from stacked freight.
4. Mark cartons with SKU and piece count; avoid “eyewear” callouts on the outside to reduce pilferage risk for high-end leather or metal cases.

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

• Simple quoting with fixed Class 150—no density calculation, fewer surprise reclasses, and faster rate shopping for optical distributors and e‑commerce sellers.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and carrier acceptance, helping keep transit timelines predictable for product launches and replenishments.
• Boxed-only requirement encourages uniform packaging that reduces damage claims on premium finishes, hinges, and magnetic closures.
• Consistent cartonization (standard inner counts) speeds pick/pack at 3PLs, lowers handling fees, and improves inventory accuracy for eyewear brands and retailers.
