NMFC 200120 - Wool, NOI incl. alpaca & mohair | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package fibers in sift‑proof bags, cartons, or tightly strapped bales with poly liners to contain flyaway fibers and lanolin residue; palletize to prevent snagging.
2. Control moisture and odors on raw or greasy wool: use breathable wrap, top/bottom sheets, and desiccant packs; mark BOL with “Keep Dry” and avoid co-loading with scented goods.
3. Identify the fiber and form on the BOL: “Wool, NOI—alpaca/camel hair/mohair, baled” plus piece count and dimensions to avoid capacity disputes and reclass fees.
4. Stabilize bales for LTL: band twice in both directions, protect edges with corner boards, and confirm stackability; allow stacking when compression won’t harm fiber quality.

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

• Accurate NOI description reduces reclass charges and inspection delays when carriers cannot find a named sub-item.
• Non-hazardous designation broadens carrier options and removes hazmat surcharges, improving lane coverage.
• Baled and palletized units cube out efficiently, lowering handling time and minimizing sifting or contamination claims.
• Moisture and odor controls protect fiber grade, preserving mill yield and reducing loss deductions on receipt.
