This form may help: CBP_Form_3299.

IIRC you aren't limited in personal items as long as they are for you, you've owned them for at least 6 months (not that they check), and they cross the border with or after you and with the right paperwork. Pets, plants, and vehicles may require additional paperwork. There are several threads here about the process of importing cars.

If you check the pinned topic at the top of the forum you will find a link in there called "Moving FAQ's" in the 2nd post. The information in there will answer your question.

You can have the receipts of items owned less then 6 months, I just happened to need a new computer just before I moved, the 6 month thing applied to electronics only I think - ohw would they know your dresser was new or an antique...ya know?

!!!

Mainly - you probably should NOT show up with 17 tvs, 12 computers, 29 printers - cause then you look like you might be taking them in to sell !!!!!

Just to clarify - you are supposed to have owned them for a year, not six months:

You may import furniture, dishes, linens, libraries, artwork and similar household furnishings for your personal use free of duty. To be eligible for duty-free exemption, the articles must have either been available for your use, or used in a household where you were a resident for one year. The year of use does not need to be continuous, nor does it need to be the year immediately before the date of importation.

But the reality for most people is that they don't bother to inquire. I wasn't asked what I was bringing in, and nobody bothered to take a look. They aren't going to drill you on how old your linens are, but if you have a brand new 46" LCD TV they might ask... might. The key is being prepared with a list of items you are bringing in and having recipts or information about items you are concerned may cause you a problem.
