Moving internationally is a big decision. It means you're leaving the
comfort and familiarity of your home country to start fresh in another place.It
also means you're going to have to downsize your life quite a bit—especially if
you're moving by air.
Each country has its own set of rules about what can be transported into
the country, and some countries are more strict than others. For example, some
countries don't allow pets, medications, alcohol or even certain kinds of
plants. Other countries don't allow any type of food or beverages at all. Even
when you're moving by sea, there are plenty of items that won't make the cut,
such as weapons and ammunition. To help you get ready for your international
move, we've compiled this list of banned goods that movers can't ship overseas.
The list is broken down by land, air and sea travel, so keep in mind
that it applies to all three types of transport when planning your trip: Air:
All food/drinks (including baby formula), pets/animals, ammo/weapons (tear gas
included), flammable liquids/gases (such as nail polish remover. So, you've
made the decision to move internationally.
Congratulations! You're in for a wild ride, but don't worry—we're here to help.
Now that you know you're moving overseas, the first thing you need to
think about is what items you can bring with you. Unfortunately, some of your
favorite things might not make the cut. Prohibited items First and foremost, any
item that is prohibited by law will not be allowed on your mover's truck. If
they show up at your house and see that one of these items is being packed,
they will refuse to move it and take legal action against you if necessary.

reasons, movers cannot transport perishable foods in their trucks.
