How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Book as NMFC 98990 at Class 100 and list packaging as boxes or bales on the BOL to prevent reclass.
  2. Use double‑wall cartons with poly liners and desiccants for boxed hides; strap to pallets with corner boards and wrap tightly to keep moisture out.
  3. If shipping kangaroo, wallaby, or wombat across borders, confirm wildlife paperwork (e.g., USFWS 3‑177/CITES where applicable) and keep species details ready.
  4. Stow away from food or fragrance freight and mark KEEP DRY; avoid damp trailers and use breathable covers to limit odor transfer.

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

Business Value

  • Fixed Class 100 rating streamlines quoting and reduces costly reclass disputes.
  • Single NMFC for multiple species cuts SKU‑level research time and speeds tendering.
  • Non‑hazmat status widens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges.
  • Boxed packs improve stackability and handling, lowering accessorial risk and claim exposure.
