NMFC 86840 - Rolled Glass with Aluminum | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package in a rigid wood crate or double-wall box with internal bracing; keep sheets upright, add edge guards, and interleave foam so aluminum strips don’t imprint or scratch glass.
2. Declare NMFC 86840 at Class 70 on the BOL; include piece count, outer dimensions, and exact weight even though class isn’t density-based.
3. Label clearly: “Glass – Keep Upright – Do Not Stack.” Use soft straps around the crate, block and brace to the trailer wall, and avoid direct strap contact with the glass faces.
4. Keep dry and temperature stable to limit differential expansion between glass and aluminum; use moisture barrier wrap and desiccant for longer transits.

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

• Class 70 gives predictable LTL pricing and minimizes reclass or rebill risk for glass with metal overlay.
• Boxed/crated requirement aligns with carrier rules, reducing damage claims and downtime tied to replacements.
• Non-hazardous status streamlines routing and paperwork, cutting accessorial exposure and accelerating transit.
• Clear NMFC alignment speeds quoting and procurement decisions, improving bid accuracy and freight budgeting.
