| 88660.00 | Vacuum Bottle, Jar or Jug Fillers, insulated, not jacketed, in boxes | 92.5 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm the item is an insulated vacuum bottle, jar, or jug filler, not jacketed, and packed in boxes to align with NMFC 88660 at Class 92.5.
- Use sturdy double‑wall cartons with foam inserts or corrugated partitions; keep spouts or necks away from carton walls and mark as Glass and This Side Up.
- Palletize with no overhang, add corner boards, and stretch‑wrap; avoid top stacking. Example: 8 inner cartons in a master case on a 40×48 pallet.
- Rate it at Class 92.5 without density data; request non‑stackable only if your packaging can’t support load to prevent unnecessary accessorial charges.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
