Do not use any punctuation to introduce a sentence-style list that follows grammatically from Words such as "including." Here is an example:
There were several items on the grocery list, including ham, beans, onions, carrots, and celery.
However, if you're talking about a bulleted list, various style guides give you your choice of punctuation from none to periods, commas, or semicolons.
This list includes several styles of punctuation for bulleted lists:
* Each bullet point ends without punctuation.
* Each bullet point ends with a period (note that this is common if some or all entries are complete sentences).
* All bullet points end with a comma or a semicolon except for the final entry, which ends with a period.
* In the previous style, the second-to-last entry includes the Word "and" (or "or") after the semicolon.
