NMFC Description Class

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Confirm you’re shipping the boxed combination of sulfur, zinc sulfate, and lead arsenate, and enter NMFC 155063 at Class 77.5 on the BOL along with the full hazardous shipping description from the SDS.
  2. Use tight inner containers with chemical‑resistant seals inside sturdy boxes; add liners and absorbent cushioning. Stretch‑wrap to a pallet and keep dry to prevent leaks or dusting.
  3. Apply required hazmat markings and labels per the SDS and 49 CFR, keep away from foodstuffs, and segregate from oxidizers or incompatible materials during pickup and linehaul.
  4. Provide emergency contact information, hazmat certification, and any state pesticide documentation. For returns or disposal, note program details (e.g., ag co‑op take‑back) to avoid delays.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable rating: fixed Class 77.5 simplifies quoting and budgeting versus density‑based items.
  • Lower reclass risk when boxed and declared under NMFC 155063, reducing chargebacks and disputes.
  • Faster tendering: standardized packaging (boxes) and clear hazmat status streamline carrier acceptance.
  • Compliance reduces fines and spill exposure, protecting margins and liability on toxic pesticide compounds.
