NMFC Description Class
58900.00 Kits, permanent hair waving, other than electric, in boxes or Package 2407 92.5

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm kit components and review the SDS for each liquid (waving lotion, neutralizer). Determine if hazmat service is required and note any limited quantity eligibility.
  2. Package per NMFC Package 2407 or sturdy corrugated boxes: leak‑resistant inner bottles sealed in poly bags with absorbent, dividers, and tight closures (e.g., four 8‑oz bottles plus rods).
  3. Mark and document clearly: list NMFC 58900 and Class 92.5 on the BOL, declare hazardous materials when applicable, include an emergency contact, and place SDS in a document pouch.
  4. Palletize upright with no overhang, band and stretch‑wrap, and keep away from heat sources. Request liftgate service for salon or residential deliveries when needed.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 92.5 simplifies quoting and reduces reclass risk, keeping LTL costs predictable.
  • Using Package 2407 standards cuts damage claims and minimizes carrier inspections or delays.
  • Proper hazmat setup lowers refusal risk and unexpected surcharges, improving on‑time performance.
  • Consistent kit classification supports consolidation and sharper contract rates for salon supply runs.
