NMFC 65575 - Livestock Castrators, Hand Pincer | Class 85

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Cushion the jaws and tips with sleeves or guards, then place each tool in an inner carton; fill voids in the master box to prevent rattle and abrasion.
2. Mark cartons “Hand Pincer Castrators/Emasculators — NMFC 65575, Class 85” on two sides and list counts by size (e.g., 9", 12") on the packing slip for quick receiving.
3. Keep individual box weights under 40 lb; palletize multiple boxes with edge boards, a flush top layer, and tight wrap to avoid fork punctures and shifting.
4. If tools are oiled for corrosion control, line cartons with poly and add VCI or desiccant; confirm no free liquid so the freight remains non-hazardous.

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

• Fixed Class 85 removes density calculations, reducing reweighs and reclass fees across mixed-size tool shipments.

• Standard boxed packaging improves cube utilization on LTL farm-supply lanes, lowering per-unit freight cost.
