NMFC 155015 - Chlorinated Pesticides | Class Varies

Note 155016: NOTE-If shipment is inadvertently accepted, class 500 will apply.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Verify legality and purpose (product vs disposal) and review NMFC Note 155016 with the SDS to confirm the correct class and any packaging limits.
2. Choose compliant packaging: UN-rated steel or poly drums, tight-lidded pails, or approved lab-pack kits with absorbent and overpack options for leak containment.
3. Label and mark clearly: proper shipping name/UN ID per the SDS, Marine Pollutant marks if applicable, and “Keep From Foodstuffs” to ensure segregation during transit.
4. Book a HazMat-authorized LTL carrier and include NMFC 155015 on the BOL with 24/7 emergency contact information; request non-food trailers and restricted access handling.

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

• Accurate NMFC selection tied to Note 155016 reduces reclass bills, reweighs, and unexpected HazMat surcharges.
• Compliant UN packaging minimizes spill risk, claim exposure, and cleanup costs while protecting carrier acceptance.
• Clear HazMat documentation and markings speed cross-dock handling, reducing terminal holds and improving on-time performance.
• Using qualified HazMat carriers improves routing options and lowers accessorials from refusals, redelivery, or segregation issues.
