High-Value Inventory and Non-Allowables

Step 1Please complete the high value inventory form before the packers arrive to pack your household goods. List

those items that you feel have a value of more than $100 per pound.

Step 2When the packers arrive, present them with the high value inventory form and the high value items for

packing. Then, both you and the lead packer will sign the high value inventory form, acknowledging

that both of you are aware of the high value inventory items listed. The packer will give you a copy for

your records.

Step 3The cartons containing the high value items will be left in your possession until the van operator

arrives to load your goods. Make the van operator aware of any cartons containing high value items or

any larger unpacked items that you listed on the high value inventory form. You must also identify for

the driver any high value items that you have packed yourself so that he or she may exercise the right

to inspect such items.

Step 4You will also be asked to sign an “Extraordinary Value Article Declaration” statement on the bill of lading.

Note: You must sign the high value inventory form even if you have not listed any high value items. Your signature attests to the fact that such articles are not included in your shipment.

High-Value InventoryIf you have items that require more liability coverage than the standard $0.60 per pound, you may want to consider taking advantage of

the high value inventory coverage program. Please contact your move coordinator or speak with your in-home move estimator if you have

any questions about the program. The high value inventory form that you will receive before the move allows us to more closely track and

provide greater security for your high value possessions. Failure to identify high value articles will result in limited carrier liability.
