Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
49825.00 Clothing, fur or fur lined, used, in boxes, or in trunks locked and sealed with metal seals, see Note, item 49827:

Notes

Note 49827: NOTE-The released valuation, which shall be deemed to relate to each shipping package separately and not to the shipment as a whole, shall be entered on the shipping order and bill of lading in the following form: "The agreed or declared value of the property is hereby specifically stated by the shipper to be not exceeding ______ per pound," (Classes herein based on released value have been authorized by the Interstate Commerce Commission by Released Rates Order No. MC-292, FF-29 of December 8, 1948.)

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Use approved packaging: sturdy boxes or locked trunks sealed with metal seals. Record each seal number on the BOL (e.g., Seal 00427) for traceability.
  2. Bag garments to control shedding and odor, then cushion with kraft paper. Add desiccant packs and avoid tight plastic wraps that trap moisture in used furs.
  3. Note “used fur or fur‑lined clothing” on paperwork, include counts by type (coats, stoles, hats), and flag any regulated species so brokers can check CITES/local rules.
  4. Keep boxes uniform and label weight on each. Even if class is not specified, carriers still quote from actual dimensions and weight, so measure accurately.

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

Business Value

  • Reduced reclass disputes by following the exact packaging callout (boxes or locked, metal‑sealed trunks) tied to NMFC 49825.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and helps secure standard LTL rates without special handling surcharges.
  • Lower OS&D risk: locked, sealed trunks deter pilferage and keep high-value vintage or consignment items intact through cross-dock transfers.
  • Cleaner documentation (seal numbers, item counts, fur content) speeds quotes and claims, saving admin time for thrift, resale, and estate shippers.
