NMFC Description Class
110860.00 Tie Strings (Rawhide Leather Strips of Irregular Width and Length), in bales, boxes or drums 70

How to Determine Your Class

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.

Business Value

  • 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.
