NMFC 139560 - Animal Muzzles | Class 100–150

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm which of the two NMFC classes applies by construction and materials (soft leather/nylon vs rigid plastic or wire). No density break is used—quote by class.
2. Nest muzzles to cut cube and prevent deformation. Example: stack basket-style dog muzzles nose-to-tail in polybags to reduce space and scuffing.
3. Carton-pack tightly with crush protection at the nose/basket. Add edge guards for wire frames and bag small parts like straps or buckles to avoid loss.
4. Palletize within the footprint with no overhang; use corner boards and light strapping to avoid bending. For bulk small muzzles, consider lined gaylords; for parcel, use DIM-savvy cartons.

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

• Accurate selection between Class 100–150 minimizes reclass fees and billing disputes, keeping LTL invoices predictable.
• Efficient nesting and right-size cartons lower cubic exposure, helping avoid capacity-based surcharges and improving freight rates.
• Protective packing reduces OS&D from bent wire or creased leather, preserving resale value and cutting return costs.
• Clear NMFC identification speeds dock handling and claims resolution, improving pickup reliability and transit performance.
