How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- List on the BOL as “Hair Curlers, rigid plastic, non‑electric, boxed — NMFC 92220” and select the applicable class within 85–110; do not describe as foam or cellular plastic.
- Use sturdy corrugated cartons with dividers or molded trays to prevent snapping and scuffing. Example: pack retail 10‑count sleeves into a master carton with top/bottom pads.
- Palletize tight and square: no overhang, use corner boards and stretch wrap, and keep cartons flat to maintain stackability and minimize crush during LTL cross‑dock handling.
- If shipping with clips, bands, or end caps, bag small parts inside the box and note “combined with other materials” so carriers recognize the correct NMFC coverage.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
