NMFC 110860 - Rawhide Tie Strings | Class 70

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack strips in heavy-duty, double-wall boxes; coil and bundle to prevent tangles, then line cartons with poly or kraft to control moisture and staining.
2. Palletize cartons with corner boards and two straps; note bundle counts and approximate lengths on the BOL as “Tie Strings, rawhide, NMFC 110860, Class 70.”
3. Keep freight away from heat and damp areas; rawhide can stiffen or discolor, so use lined cartons to avoid oil transfer and protect adjacent freight.
4. For small orders or returns, use partitioned cartons; tape bundle ends to prevent punctures and cap box weights at 40–50 lb for safe manual handling.

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

• Fixed Class 70 rating delivers predictable pricing with no density calculation, reducing reclass risk and quote variance.
• Boxed presentation aligns with LTL best practices, cutting damage on irregular leather strips and lowering claims expense.
• Non-hazardous designation simplifies carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges for leaner landed costs.
• Accurate NMFC labeling speeds dock processing and minimizes inspections, helping keep transit times and accessorials in check.
