NMFC 155000 - Pesticides Group Items | Class N/A

Note 155001: NOTE-Materials regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation as a corrosive, flammable gas, poison or poison gas and required to bear a notice to that effect on bills of lading and packaging are not subject to the provisions of this grouping.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Confirm your product fits the Pesticides Group definition (defoliant, herbicide, fungicide, or insecticide) per the note tied to item 155001 before requesting quotes.
2. Match packaging to formulation: liquids in tight‑head jugs or drums with tamper seals and absorbent liners; powders or granules in poly‑lined bags or pails. Example: 4×1‑gal cartons, upright, with This Side Up arrows.
3. State the exact form and packaging on the BOL (e.g., “insecticide concentrate, 5‑gal pails, non‑haz”) and attach an SDS to support the non‑hazardous status and avoid reclass.
4. Palletize away from foodstuffs, use a top sheet and full stretch‑wrap, avoid overhang, and protect from freeze/overheat if the active ingredients are temperature sensitive.

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

• Non‑hazardous listing helps bypass hazmat surcharges and special handling fees, tightening landed costs on LTL moves.
• Group coverage streamlines quoting across multiple SKUs and formulations, reducing back‑and‑forth on NMFC details and accelerating tendering.
• Clear packaging specs and spill‑prevention steps lower OS&D and leakage claims, protecting margins and customer relationships.
• Accurate item description under NMFC 155000 reduces reclass risk, enabling more reliable pricing and fewer post‑audit adjustments.
