Since Crash and I are having FedEx pick up the first shipment of his stuff to come here (YEA :dance:) he wants to know this:

Has anyone who shipped stuff over prior to coming over (he's coming in 4 weeks) - what did you put on the customs forms? Specifically, did it matter that the date you shipped your stuff was before the date you entered the country?

Not sure if we are asking exactly the right question but hopefully someone will/can understand us... LOL

Thanks...

I think as long as you tell them what's IN the packages you should be fine. If you're really worried, have him label it as gifts. David used to send TONS of stuff to me. CD's, and mini discs mostly, and he never had a problem. He just made sure to list the contents of each package on the customs forms. Hope this helps!!! Doubt it will though!!! :)

Stuff can be shipped before you leave as long as the shipping company has a copy of your passport and visa. You also have to be there to sign for it at the receiving end. Just make sure you put on the forms its all over a year old in your possession.
