How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- 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.
- 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.
- Print the BOL and carton labels with “Costume Beards/Mustaches/Wigs — NMFC 23060, Class 200” to align with carrier rating and avoid reclass delays.
- 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.
