How household-goods moving costs vary in New Hampshire

State-specific code or insurance rule: New Hampshire transferred intrastate household-goods regulatory authority to the New Hampshire Department of Safety Division of State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Bureau — making NH one of the few states where intrastate HHG carriers are regulated by the state law-enforcement agency rather than a Public Service Commission or DOT — and NH operates a limited intrastate regulatory framework focused primarily on commercial vehicle safety compliance, with HHG consumer protection enforcement primarily through New Hampshire Department of Justice Consumer Protection and Antitrust Bureau under NH RSA Chapter 358-A (the New Hampshire Consumer Protection Act).
