NMFC 131470 - Leather or Webbing Straps | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Coil or fold straps uniformly; poly-bag each bundle to contain loose webbing, then place in sturdy cartons with edge protectors to prevent cuts.
2. Separate any metal buckles or hooks from leather/webbing using dividers or inner boxes so hardware cannot chafe or puncture during transit.
3. For pallets, keep cartons within deck size, no overhang, and secure with stretch wrap plus two bands. Add desiccant for moisture-sensitive leather.
4. On the BOL, note “Straps—Leather/Webbing, NMFC 131470, Class 85, Packages.” List exact package count; no density declaration is needed.

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

• Fixed Class 85 delivers predictable LTL quotes and minimizes reclass fees for strap-only shipments.
• Damage prevention through proper packing reduces abrasion and moisture claims, protecting margins on leather goods.
• Non-hazardous designation speeds terminal handling and avoids compliance-related accessorial charges.
• Clear separation of straps from hardware preserves favorable class and optimizes freight costs on mixed orders.
