How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm which sublisting applies and note the class (85 or 100) based on how the flocks are described in your paperwork—e.g., hair vs. wool or processed vs. mixed.
  2. Pack flocks in sturdy corrugated boxes with a poly liner to trap loose fibers; tape all seams and consider desiccant packs to control moisture during transit.
  3. Keep box weights manageable for dock handling (typically 40–50 lb per box) and palletize multiple boxes; shrink-wrap tightly and use corner boards to prevent bulging.
  4. On the BOL, state “Flocks—Hair or Wool, NMFC 70380,” include box count and total weight, and attach photos if fibers are very fine to preempt inspection delays.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable class range (85–100) streamlines rating and quoting, reducing time to price LTL moves.
  • Non-hazardous material avoids hazmat surcharges and specialized handling fees.
  • Sealed, boxed packaging minimizes fiber shedding and contamination claims, improving delivery acceptance and lowering risk costs.
  • Efficient palletization of compressible flocks increases units per skid, helping control freight spend with better space utilization.
