Need Advise on POE via K1 Visa

[maricel3155 1]

Hi all,

Need some advise, I just recently got approved on K1 and got my visa. Since I'll be travelling to US and bringing all my stuff. Is there any advise based on your own experience at POE to US Customs. I know there's a form to be filled up because I've been visiting US fr quite sometime but this time I'll be going there as an Immigrant via K1. Are they going to taxed my things like items that I have watches, speaker system, LED TV, other electronic devices. Note that all this items are used and not brand new. Is there any exemption for Immigrant?

any relevant advise will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Personally I would do cargo shipment on those items and just carry normal luggage. Plus you will pay good amount of money to airline for extra baggage, so it might be good option to find out cost of cargo shipment at your fiance address.

Yes, originally I was planning on shipping my cargo but it seems extra luggage is much cheaper than shipping. Cost of per extra luggage is $120 with a max wt. 23 kg. rather than shipping costing $5,205 for 100 kg.(quotation from cargo shipping)

Any,way thanks for your kind advise.
