You may use the information provided to manage shipments of government property or employees’ personal effects on behalf of a federal government transportation program. However, you must refer to your agency transportation policy and procedures for specific requirements. It’s the agency’s decision whether to move shipments and how to do so.

Find guidance according to where you are in the process before, during or after shipping.

Before shipping

Plan well to help ensure the shipping process goes smoothly:

  1. Gather information
  2. Make shipping decisions
  3. Prepare the shipment

During shipping

  2. Claim damages
