How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Package fur robes or rugs in rigid corrugated boxes; use double‑wall cartons with acid‑free tissue and a breathable poly bag to protect pile and avoid moisture.
- Brace the item to prevent crushing: add corner/edge protection, fill voids with kraft or foam, and mark cartons “Do Not Crush.” Example: roll a 3×5 fur rug on a core and box it snugly.
- Palletize multiple boxes lightly to avoid compression—use edge guards and two straps, then a soft wrap. Keep labels on the side panel for scanner access.
- Document clearly: list “Fur Goods, Robes or Rugs, NOI, boxed – NMFC 78460, Class 200.” Add insurance for high‑value pieces and request delivery appointments for boutiques or residences.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 200 pricing removes density disputes, reducing reclass fees and speeding LTL quotes.
- Boxed packaging meets the listing, so no costly crating—lower materials spend and faster turnarounds.
- Non‑hazardous status broadens carrier options and simplifies tendering, often improving transit reliability.
- Clear NMFC labeling plus protective packing lowers claim risk on luxury textiles, preserving margin and brand reputation.
