  # U-Pack Do Not Ship List


## List of things not to pack

Did you know some household items can’t be transported in U-Pack® equipment? While most of your things will be safe to pack, your shipment shouldn’t include anything poisonous, flammable, corrosive or perishable. Common examples are cleaning supplies, motor oil and fireworks. Either use these items, give them away or dispose of them properly before moving.

  ### Important notes:

- Some items can be easily moved with you. Find out how to move [firearms and ammunition](https://www.upack.com/articles/guidelines-for-shipping-firearms), [houseplants](https://www.upack.com/articles/how-do-you-move-house-plants-from-one-state-to-another) and [pets](https://www.upack.com/articles/a-practical-guide-for-moving-with-pets).
- We strongly recommend throwing away any liquids in open containers.
- Internal combustion engines or small outdoor equipment (like lawnmowers) can be shipped, but you must drain all fluids (gasoline or diesel, motor oil, etc.) before loading.
- If you’re shipping outdoor items, your move might require an [Insect Inspection Form](https://www.upack.com/moving-resources/documents-and-tools/insect-inspection) if you’re moving from an area with an invasive insect quarantine.
- Federal and State law enforcement agencies frequently inspect our trailers and facilities for the presence of illegal shipments. U-Pack fully cooperates with all law enforcement agencies conducting investigations in the trafficking of illegal substances.
