NMFC 86750 - Leaded Glass in Boxes (Note 86752) | Class N/A

Note 86752: NOTE-The term 'leaded glass' means glass either colored or clear, set in lead or in other metal.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Reference NMFC 86750 and Note 86752 on your BOL, and specify packaging as boxes. Example: “5 boxes leaded glass panes, 250 lb total, palletized, fragile handling.”
2. Use double-wall corrugated cartons with rigid foam or honeycomb, edge guards, and face sheets to protect surfaces—critical for radiation-shielding panes and optical blanks.
3. Palletize boxes upright with no overhang, band and stretch-wrap, and add tilt/shock indicators. If stacking is risky, apply ‘Do Not Stack’ cones or caps.
4. Choose carriers experienced with fragile LTL. Declare non-hazardous, add cargo insurance, photograph packaging before tender, and request inside pickup or liftgate when shipping from clinics or labs.

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

• Accurate use of NMFC 86750 prevents reclass/rebill disputes and stabilizes your freight rates.
• Box-specific packing reduces breakage on dense, delicate leaded glass, cutting claim costs and replacement delays.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines paperwork and avoids hazmat surcharges, improving transit speed and budget predictability.
• Proper palletization and handling marks reduce touches in the network, improving on-time delivery for medical imaging and architectural projects.
