NMFC 88520 - Siphon Bottles in Boxes | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Declare NMFC 88520 and Glassware Group on the BOL; this item ships at fixed Class 85 with boxed packaging, so no density lines are needed.
2. Pack each bottle with cell dividers or molded foam, and secure the siphon head with caps or guards so levers and tubes don’t punch through the carton.
3. Keep cases upright; add “This Side Up” and “Fragile Glass” on two sides, and use void fill so bottles cannot rattle during LTL handling.
4. For pallet loads, choose double‑wall boxes, add a top sheet, corner boards, and stretch wrap with at least three turns; no overhang and avoid stacking heavy freight above.

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

• Predictable pricing: fixed Class 85 (no density) reduces reclass disputes and keeps quotes accurate for every shipment.
• Non-hazardous glassware means simpler paperwork and fewer accessorial surprises versus regulated products.
• Damage control: box-only packaging with internal partitions lowers breakage rates, helping cut claims costs and downtime for bar and hospitality operations.
• Operational consistency across locations—standard case-packed siphon bottles streamline replenishment for beverage distributors and refurbishers, improving per‑unit freight costs.
