Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
86710.00 Glass, flexible, in boxes 125

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm the product is flexible glass (not rigid panes or fiberglass) and that each unit ships in a protective box as the NMFC listing requires.
  2. Rate and book as Class 125 with packaging set to boxes; no density calculation is needed for this simple classification.
  3. Pack boxes with interleaving sheets and edge protection, fill voids to stop flexing, and palletize multiple boxes to prevent top-load crushing.
  4. Print NMFC 86710 on the BOL, add FRAGILE labels, and request no top stacking; example: boxed flexible glass rolls for electronics or solar laminates.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable pricing: a single Class 125 rating removes density disputes and minimizes costly reclass fees.
  • Broader carrier acceptance with standard boxed packaging, enabling faster quotes and more competitive LTL options.
  • Lower claim risk when boxed with edge guards and interleaves, reducing replacement costs and service disruptions.
  • Straightforward auditing and EDI setup by using a fixed NMFC number and class for consistent billing.
