untransportable
Impossible to move
Something untransportable cannot be moved from one place to another, whether due to size, weight, fragility, or legal restriction.
The term applies to physical objects that resist conventional shipping methods The piano was deemed untransportable after the movers saw the narrow staircase as well as to goods that regulations prohibit from being carried across borders.
Untransportable occasionally describes abstract things that cannot transfer between contexts, like cultural practices that lose meaning when relocated.
