NMFC 76720 - Frit Glazing Compound | Class 55

Note 76722: NOTE-Also applies on frit additives not exceeding 20 percent of the weight upon which freight charges are assessed.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm the commodity as frit (glazing compound) and reference Note, item 76722 on paperwork; list NMFC 76720, Class 55, non-hazardous, and the exact packaging (e.g., 30 boxes).
2. Use sift-proof packaging to contain fine particles: line corrugated boxes with poly, seal inner bags, or choose tight-head drums. Add desiccant or top sheets to limit moisture pickup.
3. Palletize uniformly: 4-way pallets, stretch wrap to the deck, and apply corner boards. For bagged or light-wall boxes, cap with a slip sheet and mark Do Not Double Stack if crush risk exists.
4. Keep frit separate from food items and ingredients. Request dry vans, avoid water exposure during loading, and note any handling cautions (dust-sensitive, fragile packaging) on the BOL.

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

• Predictable rating: Fixed Class 55 eliminates density disputes and reduces reclass exposure on LTL lanes.
• Lower overhead: Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat fees and streamlines carrier acceptance and transit planning.
• Fewer claims: Recognized packaging (boxes, bags, or drums) and clear labeling minimize leakage and contamination risks.
• Reliable budgeting: Consistent classing supports stable quotes for ceramic, enamel, and glass manufacturers replenishing frit inventory.
