About this file

This document is a Federal Acquisition Manual (FAM) Exhibit detailing guidelines for special crating of personal effects during international shipments. The exhibit specifies which items are approved and not approved for special crating, with a primary focus on high-value or delicate items.

Approved items for special crating include high-value artwork, glass/marble/slate tabletops, crystal chandeliers, baby grand pianos, pool tables with slate tabletops, and flat screen TVs larger than 63 inches. Conversely, the document lists numerous items not eligible for special crating, such as household furniture, clocks, electronic equipment, musical instruments, exercise equipment, toys, and various other household and recreational items. The guidelines explicitly state that special crating is generally not considered for domestic (CONUS-to-CONUS) shipments or shipments into storage, and requires documented value through an official appraisal, insurance policy, or purchase receipt.
