How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Quote as NMFC 155010, Class 77.5, selecting boxed dry arsenate mixtures (calcium/lead arsenate, Paris green with sulfur) to avoid reclass charges.
  2. Use rigid, sealed boxes with dust-tight liners; palletize, overwrap, and mark orientation so fine powders stay contained during LTL handling.
  3. Prepare HazMat documentation: SDS, correct Proper Shipping Name and ID per 49 CFR, emergency contact, and apply toxic substance labels as required.
  4. Segregate from food or feed and keep dry; request HazMat service on the BOL and notify the carrier about any special handling or accessorial needs.

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

Business Value

  • Accurate Class 77.5 for boxed product stabilizes rates and prevents costly reweigh/reclass fees.
  • Clear HazMat alignment streamlines carrier acceptance and reduces dwell time at terminals.
  • Correct packaging and labeling minimize spill risk and claims tied to fine, toxic powders.
  • Single, fixed class simplifies pricing models and speeds multi-lane LTL quoting for remediation or return programs.
