NMFC 64830 - Cages & Coops, Steel/Wood KD | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Print the BOL as: “Cages/Coops/Crates, animal or poultry, steel or steel-and-wood, KD, in packages – NMFC 64830, Class 85.” This prevents reclass issues.
2. Flat-pack panels and frames on a sturdy 4‑way pallet. Band securely, add corner/edge guards for wire mesh, bag all hardware inside the package, and wrap for containment.
3. Use package or crate-style outer protection for KD sets. Clearly mark “KD – Knocked Down” and apply orientation arrows if doors or nest boxes are preinstalled.
4. Do not treat live‑animal transport crates or general shipping crates as this item. Those use different NMFCs; this listing covers farm-use enclosures only.

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

• Fixed Class 85 simplifies rating and quoting across carriers, cutting time spent on density calculations.
• KD packaging reduces cube and damage risk, often lowering LTL charges compared to assembled units.
• Accurate NMFC 64830 on paperwork minimizes inspections, reclass fees, and delivery disputes.
• Consistent classification supports dealers and poultry operations with predictable budgeting and multi-stop consolidation.
