Hello everyone,

All this information on how to moving companies, quotes etc etc, to move your belongings to the US While immigrating is great.

However...my concern is regarding DUTY to be paid on certain things, and how that is taken care of (if required).

Can anyone offer advice?

Thanks,

What items would you be bringing that would be dutiable? Like a wine collection? You may be able to find your answer in this list of FAQ's:

CBP FAQ's - Moving to the US

I plan on using a Moving company, and Im bringing household goods, personal goods. (NO tobacco, firearms or alcohol or medications, no food or animals etc etc). Just my "stuff".

But i read if things are less that a year old (like my Laptop, Printer, Paper shreeder, couple xbox games) that duty is to be paid.

Since i am immigrating/moving (on a K1 Visa), i dont know if processes are different than a visiting trip. I read alot online but overly confused.

Thanks for the list link.

And for the reassurance.

I do know that i must POE first, then send the appropriate forms (1) The first is a completed CBP Form 3299, 2) the second is a copy of either a validated I-94 or the validated K-1 visa to show that I have entered the US) to the moving company for them to ship.
