How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Confirm the exact material on the BOL: animal hair (cattle, goat, hog, horse), human hair, rabbit hair not hatters’ fur, or finished hog bristles (not crude).
- Use containment that stops shedding and moisture: poly‑lined bags inside boxes for human hair, tight bales with banding for animal hair, or sealed drums for loose fibers.
- Calculate density per Item 170 before tendering. Weigh each shipping unit and measure its external cube to set the correct class within the 50–400 range.
- Palletize cleanly and label clearly: “Hair/Bristles – NMFC 92130 – PCF on BOL.” Keep mixed hair and vegetable fiber packages separate from pure hair to avoid reclass.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Lower your freight class by compacting bales or right‑sizing boxes, improving PCF and cutting LTL rates on density‑based pricing.
- Reduce reclass fees and inspections by documenting the fiber type, packaging (bags, bales, boxes, drums), and calculated PCF on the paperwork.
- Non‑hazardous commodity broadens carrier options and lanes, speeding quotes and simplifying capacity planning for seasonal hair collections.
- Tighter containment minimizes claims from leakage, contamination, or loss of loose fibers, protecting margins on bulk hair and bristle shipments.
