Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |
|---|---|---|
| 67000.00 | Cow Udders or Bags, frozen, having value only for animal feeding | 100 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Label clearly: “Cow Udders, Frozen — For Animal Feeding Only,” include NMFC 67000, Class 100, and mark pallets as Frozen to route to reefer lanes.
- Freeze solid before tendering; use leakproof liners or sealed bags inside lined cartons. Add absorbent pads to catch purge and prevent dock cleanup fees.
- Palletize 48x40 with no overhang; interlock cartons and stretch-wrap with corner boards. Example: forty-five 40‑lb lined cartons per pallet for tight, stable stacks.
- Book temperature-controlled LTL when required and share actual weights and dims for capacity planning. Commodity is non-hazardous and ships at fixed Class 100.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 100 simplifies quoting and reduces reclass risk, keeping rates predictable across carriers.
- Non-hazardous status avoids hazmat surcharges and extra paperwork, accelerating tender-to-pickup timelines.
- Clear “feed-only” documentation minimizes dock holds and claims, improving carrier acceptance for animal byproducts.
- Efficient pallet builds (frozen blocks or lined cartons) reduce leakage accessorials and improve per‑pound costs on reefer LTL.
