How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Use sturdy corrugated boxes sized to prevent movement; add a poly liner or bag to contain residue and odor from hoof packing compounds, then seal with 2-inch tape.
- Print the BOL with NMFC 148580 and Class 65, marked Non-Hazardous. Skip density since this item has a fixed class under the NMFC entry.
- Unitize multiple boxes on a pallet with stretch wrap and two straps; keep loads away from heat that can soften resin- or wax-based hoof packing.
- If you typically ship in pails or drums, note the NMFC description allows them, but this listing is configured for boxes—confirm carrier acceptance before tendering.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 65 rating delivers predictable LTL pricing and fewer surprise reclasses.
- Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and simplifies carrier onboarding.
- Clear packaging guidance reduces leakage, odor complaints, and OS&D claims, protecting margins.
- Consistent BOL notation (NMFC 148580, Class 65) speeds quoting and minimizes billing disputes.
