How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Quote as NMFC 155010, Class 77.5, selecting boxed dry arsenate mixtures (calcium/lead arsenate, Paris green with sulfur) to avoid reclass charges.
- Use rigid, sealed boxes with dust-tight liners; palletize, overwrap, and mark orientation so fine powders stay contained during LTL handling.
- Prepare HazMat documentation: SDS, correct Proper Shipping Name and ID per 49 CFR, emergency contact, and apply toxic substance labels as required.
- 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.
