NMFC 48660 - Clock Cases | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Identify the item as an empty clock case and note the material (wood, metal, or plastic). Include whether any glass panels or doors are installed to set handling expectations.
2. Package wall or mantel cases in double-wall cartons with foam corners and rigid edge protectors; float the case inside with void fill so it cannot shift.
3. Crate tall floor cases for LTL. Strap the crate upright to a pallet, avoid overhang, and mark This Side Up and Do Not Stack for safer transit.
4. Quote and tender using NMFC 48660 on the BOL. Add packaging type (carton or crated), piece count, and dimensions to prevent reweigh/reclass delays.

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

• Clear NMFC reference streamlines carrier quotes and minimizes back-and-forth even when the class is listed as N/A.
• Right-size packaging and palletizing reduce accessorials tied to oversize handling and help avoid damage-related claims on fragile finishes.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and simplifies paperwork, accelerating pickup and transit planning.
• Investing in protective crating for tall or antique cases cuts claim risk—often saving more than the crate cost over a few shipments.
