Listed below are some common prohibited items that you will need to address prior to your pack and load dates. Hazardous Materials- Items that are flammable, corrosive or explosive Examples include: Aerosols Fireworks Nail polish remover Ammonia Fire extinguisher Paints Ammunition Pesticides Poisons - such as weed killer Car/household batteries Liquid bleach Pool chemicals Gasoline Kerosene Charcoal Charcoal lighter fluid Matches Sterno Loaded gun Propane tank Chemistry set Cleaning solvents Motor oil Fertilizer Paint thinner Perishables- Food, plants or living things that may die or spoil in transit Examples include: Frozen food Refrigerated food Open or half used food Produce Plants Note: You should empty your refrigerators and freezers and keep appliance doors open for 24 hours in advance of loading.
