How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Bag each wig or beard in a hairnet or polybag, then place units in inner cartons to prevent tangling and shedding before loading into master boxes.
  2. Choose rigid shipping boxes sized to avoid crushing light, bulky items; add void fill so pieces don’t shift. Example: 32 ECT cartons for multi-unit packs.
  3. Print the BOL and carton labels with “Costume Beards/Mustaches/Wigs — NMFC 23060, Class 200” to align with carrier rating and avoid reclass delays.
  4. Separate small accessories (adhesive tabs, combs, caps) in clear pouches to prevent abrasion, and use moisture barriers for synthetic fibers during humid transits.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 200 removes density math, enabling instant quotes and reducing unexpected reclass fees for lightweight, bulky costume hairpieces.
  • Proper boxed packaging lowers claim risk from matting or crush damage, protecting seasonal sell-through for party retailers and theater programs.
  • Clear NMFC mapping supports accurate rating and audit trails, improving margin control on high-cube, low-weight LTL shipments.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and simplifies delivery to schools, studios, and pop-up costume shops.
