Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
88460.00 Reflectors, NOI, in boxes 100

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use rigid double-wall boxes with foam, cell dividers, or molded pulp to isolate each glass reflector and prevent lens-to-lens contact.
  2. List the freight as “Reflectors, NOI, in boxes — Class 100” on the BOL to match packaging and avoid reclass or inspection delays.
  3. Palletize with a slip sheet and top cap, keep cartons within the pallet footprint, and limit stack height to reduce pressure on fragile glass surfaces.
  4. For deliveries to body shops, lighting contractors, or dealerships, request liftgate or appointment service and add clear orientation and fragile labels.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 simplifies rating and quoting, eliminating density calculations and reducing reclass disputes.
  • Recognized boxed-packaging lowers risk of transit damage and claims when dividers and cushioning meet industry best practices.
  • Non-hazardous designation avoids hazmat surcharges and extra compliance steps, accelerating tender-to-pickup timelines.
  • Accurate NMFC wording speeds dock processing and supports better carrier selection for delicate glassware shipments.
