How to Use This Classification
- Mark the BOL as Prepaid and describe the commodity as “Evergreens, Decorative, Cut – NMFC 63650.” Include carton and pallet counts, and add “Protect from Heat/Freeze” when seasonally required.
- Use vented, wax-coated corrugated cartons with poly liners or kraft sleeves. For bundled boughs, tie with twine, add absorbent pads for sap and moisture, and prevent any free liquid from escaping.
- Build breathable pallets: column-stack cartons with corner boards, use a slip sheet on top, and apply stretch wrap loosely to allow airflow. Avoid overhang and specify Do Not Double Stack if greens are easily crushed.
- Time transit to protect freshness: book early-week pickups to prevent weekend dwell, choose faster LTL service during peak holiday weeks, and request Protect-from-Freeze or temperature-controlled service during extreme weather.
Business Value
- Prepaid terms give shippers full control of freight spend, delivering predictable landed costs for florists, garden centers, and event planners.
- Clear NMFC reference and packaging notes reduce reclass risks and inspection delays, helping avoid surprise fees and keeping seasonal deliveries on schedule.
- Moisture-safe, crush-resistant packing cuts OS&D claims and preserves appearance and fragrance, protecting sell-through and wholesale margins.
- Right-sized cartons and tidy pallet cubes improve trailer utilization and can unlock sharper LTL rates or FAK programs for recurring seasonal volumes.
