NMFC 88525 - Glass Screw-Type Fuse Plug Shells | Class 77.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Select the NMFC 88525 line when booking boxed glass shells or bodies for screw‑type electrical fuse plugs, and list packaging as boxes on the BOL.
2. Palletize small inner boxes inside a sturdy master carton (200# test or better), add dividers or cells to protect the glass threads, and cap openings to prevent chipping.
3. Keep cartons flush with the pallet—no overhang—and use corner boards plus stretch wrap; mark Fragile/Glass and Top Load Only to reduce stack pressure.
4. Class 77.5 is fixed (no density break), but provide accurate piece count, outer carton dimensions, and pallet weight to avoid cubic minimums or reweigh fees.

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

• Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 77.5 simplifies rate shopping and speeds up LTL quoting.
• Correct NMFC use limits reclass penalties and dispute time, protecting margins on delicate electrical components.
• Glassware Group handling cues help carriers stage and stack properly, reducing breakage and claims.
• Boxed-only packaging standardization streamlines fulfillment for distributors and MRO suppliers, lowering packing labor and damage write-offs.
