NMFC 99860 - Hoofs & Horn Pith Waste | Class 60

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Package dry materials in heavy poly bags, then place in sturdy corrugated boxes with a liner to control odor and any residual moisture; securely tie or heat-seal bags before boxing.
2. Palletize tight: use clean 40x48 pallets, avoid overhang, interlock-stack boxes, and stretch wrap with a top sheet to prevent dust and scent transfer to adjacent freight.
3. Write the BOL exactly: “Hoofs, animal, or Horn Pith or Waste, NOI, in bags or boxes — NMFC 99860 — Class 60 — non-hazardous.” Include piece and pallet counts; note bagged or boxed packaging.
4. Ship promptly after drying or cleaning to minimize odor. Request a dry van; keep away from food-grade freight and add ‘non-edible animal byproduct’ labels for carrier handling clarity.

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

• Fixed Class 60 rating removes density disputes, speeding quotes and protecting you from unexpected reclass fees.
• Non-hazardous status broadens carrier acceptance and reduces accessorial risk tied to special handling or hazmat protocols.
• Boxed or bag-in-box packaging limits leaks and cross-contamination, lowering claim exposure for organic byproduct shipments.
• Clear NMFC usage streamlines A/P auditing and strengthens rate predictability for processors, renderers, fertilizer, and collagen/gelatin supply chains.
