How to Use This Classification
- Describe the item precisely on the BOL: e.g., “full‑grain leather sides, 5–6 oz, rolled, palletized” or “leatherboard sheets 48x96 in, interleaved, banded.”
- Protect surfaces and edges: roll hides flesh‑side in, wrap with kraft or poly, add corner boards, and strap firmly to 4‑way pallets to prevent scuffs and curl.
- Moisture matters: use top sheets and stretch wrap with desiccants for humid routes, and mark Keep Dry to avoid staining or warping of leatherboard.
- Plan handling and dimensions: avoid pallet overhang, cap height near 48–60 in to reduce crush risk, and provide exact piece count, bundle count, and weights to prevent reweighs.
Business Value
- Lower claim rates by preventing finish rub, edge damage, and moisture exposure—critical for upholstery, footwear, and automotive leather quality standards.
- Accurate descriptions and clean labeling reduce reclass and inspection fees, speeding pickups and minimizing carrier exceptions.
- Efficient palletization and secure bundling improve cube utilization and cross-dock flow, supporting better LTL rates and fewer handling touches.
- Consistent protective packaging preserves color and texture lot-to-lot, keeping OEM schedules on track and reducing costly returns.
