NMFC 88410 - Capillary Pipettes in Boxes | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Use the exact NMFC wording on the BOL: “Pipettes, capillary, without graduations, expendable, in boxes,” and assign Class 70.
2. Pack pipettes in inner sleeves or tube trays with corrugated partitions; keep glass tips from touching box walls to prevent point-load breakage.
3. Palletize multiple cartons on a 48x40 with corner boards and a top cap; shrink-wrap securely and mark “Glass – Do Not Stack” and “This Side Up.”
4. Because this class isn’t density-based, skip cube calculations for classification, but still provide accurate piece count and scale weight for rating.

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

• Predictable Class 70 rating simplifies quoting and stabilizes LTL freight budgets for lab and diagnostics replenishment.
• Non-hazardous glassware status broadens carrier options and reduces accessorial complications versus restricted lab materials.
• Accurate NMFC 88410 usage minimizes reclass/reweigh fees and lowers claim exposure for fragile glass shipments.
• Optimized box and pallet methods cut transit damage, protecting turnaround times for research, clinical, and biotech workflows.
