Can I ship a shipping container that has windows cut into it?

So ive decided that im going to build my own house with a couple of 40ft shipping containers. Currently, before i start living in it, i plan on purchasing 1 used high cube 40ft container, spending maybe 6 months outfitting it with insulation, wiring, plumbing, such a as a water heater and a shower and kitchen appliances etc and when im done i want to ship it to a different state and THEN hook it up to a septic system and water main and power etc. However, my main concern is that i want to cut a few windows into the shipping container. Would shipping companies still be able to ship my container? Or would they refuse to ship it since i compromised the structural integrity by cutting windows into it? They wont be big windows, just enough to let light in. Would this be safe for transport and shipping overseas? Would this be allowed is all im asking?

You need to maintain the integrity of the container. Theres an episode on youtube where a shipbuilder did this and ships his container around the world with him. He has like another shipping container wall that he secures over the windows so that the container does not crush under load.

Shipping containers are used on SHIPS. You know, the things that cross OCEANS.

Shipping your house to another "state" would be SURFACE shipping across the LAND.

"Structural integrity" is only an issue when they STACK multiple containers on top of each other while crossing the OCEAN.
