Customers should disclose unusual, large or specialised batteries before transportation, particularly for international shipments.
15. International Shipments
International shipments may be subject to additional restrictions imposed by customs authorities, airlines, shipping lines, freight carriers and destination countries.
An item that can legally be transported domestically may still be restricted or prohibited in another country.
16. Customs Restrictions
Customers are responsible for providing accurate information and documents required for customs clearance where applicable.
Customs authorities may inspect, hold, reject, seize or impose duties on goods according to applicable law.
17. Undeclared Items

20. Customer Liability for Undeclared Goods
Customers may be responsible for losses, delays, penalties, additional transportation costs, government charges or other consequences arising from prohibited, restricted or incorrectly declared goods.
21. Storage Restrictions
Prohibited, hazardous, illegal or unsafe goods must not be placed into storage facilities used for relocation services.

Fuel levels and other vehicle-preparation requirements may be subject to the applicable transportation arrangement.
23. When in Doubt
If you are unsure whether a particular item can be transported, please contact Globe Moving & Relocation before packing or handing over the item. Do not assume that an item is acceptable simply because it is commonly transported domestically.
24. Policy Updates
Globe Moving & Relocation may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in transportation rules, carrier requirements, customs regulations, safety standards or business practices.
The latest version will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date.
