NMFC 121580 - Boxed Water, Non-Pressure | Class 92.5

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Specify on the BOL: “Water, non-pressurized, in boxes — NMFC 121580, Class 92.5.” Include total weight and pallet count for faster rating.
2. Use leak-resistant liners and sturdy, double-wall corrugated boxes; tape seams and add absorbent pads if shipping long distance or through warm hubs.
3. Palletize tight: column-stack or interlock per box spec, avoid overhang, add corner boards and a top sheet, then stretch-wrap and strap for stability.
4. Plan for temperature exposure—protect from freezing or excessive heat—by choosing service levels and pickup times that reduce dwell at cross-docks.

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

• Predictable pricing with a fixed Class 92.5 reduces reclass disputes and speeds quote turnaround.
• Non-hazardous commodity status avoids hazmat paperwork and surcharges, streamlining tendering.
• Box packaging fits standard LTL networks, improving handling, cross-dock flow, and delivery reliability.
• Tighter packaging and pallet practices cut leakage risks and OS&D claims, lowering total landed cost.
