Classification Details

NMFC Description Class
155805.00 Plant Growing Units, hydroponic, consisting of plastic container, electric aerator or pump, and plant growing media, with or without plant nutrients, in boxes 92.5

How to Determine Your Class

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

  1. Pack the plastic container, electric aerator or pump, and growing media in a sturdy corrugated box; double-bag media to prevent dust or spill during transit.
  2. Secure the pump/aerator and power cord with ties and cushioning so they cannot crack the container; add edge and corner protection around the plastic bin.
  3. If plant nutrients are included, seal them separately in leakproof inner bags or jars and label as non-hazardous dry/liquid nutrients to avoid confusion at terminals.
  4. On the BOL, list NMFC 155805, Class 92.5 and packaging as boxes; for multi-box kits, number each box, use one PRO, and palletize when shipping 4+ boxes together.

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

Business Value

  • Predictable costs with a fixed Class 92.5—no density calculations and fewer reclass or inspection fees.
  • Faster quoting and approvals since NMFC 155805 clearly describes boxed hydroponic kits with pumps/aerators and media.
  • Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and avoids hazmat surcharges or extra paperwork.
  • Lower claim risk when media is sealed and containers are cushioned, reducing damage expenses and total landed cost.
