How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack clippings in sturdy, lined corrugated boxes to contain loose fur and natural oils; seal all seams to prevent leakage or shedding in transit.
  2. Sort clean clippings separately from mixed or contaminated material and note this on the BOL, as subclass selection within 85–100 may depend on condition.
  3. Air-dry before packing and use odor barriers or desiccant packs to manage moisture and smell; carriers may refuse damp animal materials.
  4. Mark cartons “Rabbit Clippings/Scraps – Non-Hazardous,” include NMFC 98880 and the chosen class, plus piece count and net weight for accurate rating.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate class selection within 85–100 stabilizes LTL quotes and cuts reclass charges for fur processors, felt makers, and craft suppliers.
  • Box packaging reduces fiber loss and OS&D claims, improving salvage rates and maintaining product value for downstream sorting and blending.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and shortens tender-to-pickup timelines, helping meet production schedules.
  • Clear labeling and condition notes minimize inspection delays and accessorials, lowering total landed cost on recurring scrap movements.
