PROHIBITED ITEMS

Your Relocation Coordinator will inform you about customs restrictions or prohibited items in your destination country.


Certain items are prohibited by law in import/export/storage shipments. Including prohibited items in your shipment may result in unnecessary delays at customs or confiscation of part of your shipment. Examples include:
  • Perishables
  • Plants
  • Hazardous materials such as paint, matches and articles of an explosive nature, i.e. aerosol cans, cleaners, flammables, corrosives and explosives, ammunition
  • Pornographic material

Damage caused by perishables, flammables or corrosives are not covered by insurance and are entirely your responsibility.

Your employer may not authorize the shipment of certain items, while other items may require advance approval. Examples may include:

  • Wood, bricks, cement, lumber, building materials, rocks and soil of any type
  • Automobiles, boats, trailers, farm equipment
  • Alcohol, weapons

Stoves, propane tanks, outboard motors and power motors must be completely drained of all fuel and thoroughly cleaned before moving day.
