NMFC 86580 - Opaque Glass Building Slabs | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Match packaging to the listing: use sturdy boxes or fully sheathed crates so the freight aligns with NMFC wording and avoids reclass.
2. Protect edges and faces with closed‑cell foam, corner guards, and honeycomb sheets; add rigid backing when bundling large slabs or multiple pieces.
3. Ship upright on an internal A‑frame with blocked skids; mark This Side Up and Center of Gravity, and request forklift extensions—never clamp glass.
4. State details on paperwork: opaque glass slabs, NOI, with or without backing, piece count, sizes, and photos to speed inspections and support claims.

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

• Proper boxes or crates that mirror the NMFC description minimize inspection delays and costly reclassification fees.
• Non‑density‑based listing helps keep rates predictable by avoiding class swings tied to density changes.
• Robust crating and edge protection cut breakage and claim costs, keeping projects on schedule.
• Right‑sized, upright-packed crates improve trailer utilization and can lower LTL rate per slab.
