How household-goods moving costs vary in South Carolina
State-specific code or insurance rule: South Carolina was one of the first U.S. states to fully DEREGULATE intrastate household-goods moving under the SC Trucking Deregulation Act of 1999 — SC PSC Transportation Division phased out all intrastate HHG tariff filing, certificate-of-public-convenience requirements, and intrastate carrier permitting making South Carolina one of only 5 U.S. states (alongside KS, IA, ND, SD) with fully-deregulated intrastate household-goods moving — and SC is generally regarded as the first major post-1980-federal-deregulation state to extend full deregulation to intrastate HHG carriers (predating the IA/KS/ND/SD deregulation cluster), plus HHG consumer protection enforcement falls entirely to SC Department of Consumer Affairs.
