NMFC 88100 - Gauge Glasses, Solid, Boxed | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use NMFC 88100 and Class 100 on the BOL, select “boxes” as packaging, and list piece count and lengths for accurate rating.
2. Pack straight solid gauge glass in rigid cartons with foam sleeves, full-length edge protection, and tight void fill to stop end-to-end shift.
3. Palletize cartons upright, add corner boards, shrink-wrap to the pallet, and apply GLASS and THIS SIDE UP labels; avoid top-stacking.
4. Avoid misclassifying as tubing or curved glass; this item is solid, straight, boxed. Keep photos of packaging to support any claim.

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

• Predictable Class 100 pricing streamlines LTL quotes and budgeting for maintenance and instrumentation supply chains.
• Correct NMFC use reduces reclass/inspection fees and keeps damage ratios lower with carrier-aligned packaging.
• Boxed configuration often avoids custom crating fees, lowering accessorial exposure while maintaining protection.
• Non-hazardous status simplifies paperwork and expands carrier options, speeding pickup windows for urgent MRO orders.
