Moving: Professional items

Professional items are not counted against your weight allowance. These include books, papers and special uniforms such as flight suits, if approved by the transportation office as necessary in the performance of duty. Office furniture and regular uniforms are not included.

Professional items can be shipped along with household goods or unaccompanied baggage. However, they must be clearly identified so they can be weighed separately from the rest of the shipment.

A service member’s spouse also can ship up to 500 pounds of professional items at government expense as part of a household goods move.
