How to Use This Classification

Match your shipment to the proper shells description (natural shells, decorative pieces, or assortments) and note whether items are raw or cleaned/processed.
Bag small shells before boxing; use dividers and foam or paper to cushion fragile edges. Double‑wall cartons stop crushing of heavier lots.
Palletize gently: corner boards, a top cap, and stretch wrap with light tension. Mark Fragile—Shells and This Side Up to reduce handling impacts.
Document net weight, piece count, and packaging type. Add Non‑Hazardous—Natural Shells on the BOL, and check any CITES/APHIS restrictions for species.

Business Value

Fewer damage claims on brittle shells through right-size packaging and controlled pallet tension.
Rate stability by declaring Class N/A with clear descriptors, reducing reclass fees and inspection delays.
Lower labor at both ends by pre-bagging small pieces and using labeled inner packs for quick counts.
Better cube utilization with nested containers and dividers, trimming freight charges on LTL lanes.
