NMFC 75890 - Taxidermy Forms in Boxes | Class 150–250

Note 75892: NOTE-Description applies on forms for mounting or attaching the skins of animals, birds, fish or reptiles.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm density before booking: weigh the boxed shipment, measure outer dims, calculate cubic feet and pounds per cubic foot; lower PCF trends to higher classes.
2. Nest or bundle compatible forms (e.g., two bird bodies) in one sturdy corrugated box to raise density without crushing delicate foam contours; fill voids with kraft paper.
3. List on the BOL: “NMFC 75890 taxidermists’ forms, boxed, subject to Item 170.” This clarity reduces reclass disputes and speeds dock processing.
4. Verify your item meets the NMFC note (item 75892) definition for taxidermy forms. Avoid overhanging or irregular boxes so carrier dimensioners read accurately.

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

• Optimized packing that increases PCF can move freight toward Class 150, lowering LTL spend compared with low-density Class 250 moves.
• Accurate NMFC 75890 use and Item 170 density entry reduce inspection holds, reclass fees, and surprise billing adjustments.
• Standard “boxes” packaging aligns with carrier handling, protecting fragile foam shapes and cutting OS&D claims and replacement costs.
• Non-hazardous, density-rated freight enables fast, apples-to-apples quoting across carriers, improving rate shopping and tender speed.
