NMFC 88180 - Gold/Silver Trimmed Glassware | Class 150

Note 88182: NOTE-Applies on gold or silver deposit ware only when the gold or silver deposit is applied by the electrolytic process of plating the metal on the ware.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm your pieces carry a gold or silver deposit, mounting, or trim and are shipped in boxes; reference Note item 88182 to document the finish type.
2. Use sturdy corrugated cartons with cell dividers; wrap each goblet or plate in foam or paper and fill voids so rims and mounts cannot touch.
3. Stack boxed sets on a pallet with no overhang, add corner boards, and shrink-wrap; mark This Side Up and Fragile for barware and tableware.
4. Print "NMFC 88180, Class 150, glassware—gold/silver finish, in boxes" on the BOL, and include declared value if the metallic trim increases item value.

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

• Predictable pricing from a fixed Class 150—density changes will not alter the rating.
• Clear documentation aligned with Note 88182 helps prevent reclass fees and service delays.
• Protective boxing reduces breakage on luxury drinkware and giftware, lowering claim costs.
• Faster quoting for hospitality, retail, and e-commerce shipments of trimmed glass sets.
