NMFC 87520 – Ampoules in Boxes, Package 2362 | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack ampoules in cell-divided trays or foam/molded pulp to prevent glass-to-glass contact, meeting Package 2362 standards inside sturdy cartons.
2. Use double‑wall inner cartons nested in a master box, then unitize on a 48×40 pallet with corner boards and a top cap; avoid any pallet overhang.
3. Mark FRAGILE and THIS SIDE UP, keep contents upright, and add do‑not‑double‑stack cones if needed; note piece counts and packaging on the BOL.
4. Rate and book at Class 100, listing “boxes, Package 2362” on paperwork; separate from heavy freight or machinery crates to reduce crush risk.

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

• Correct Class 100 assignment reduces reclass fees and surprise rebills, stabilizing your LTL spend.
• Package 2362 conformity speeds carrier acceptance and lowers claims by signaling proper glass protection.
• Non‑hazardous designation widens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges for routine lab and healthcare deliveries.
• Clear item naming (ampoules/ampuls) improves quote accuracy and enables smarter consolidation of small cartons into single pallet moves.
