Hi,

My visa is near to be complete and so I'm now planning ahead to the actual moving part.

What about paying Customs fees on the personal effects I am bringing into the US with me? It will mostly just be clothes, dvds and a few books etc, but do I have to declare the full value of each item on any custom's forms?

If anyone who's already made it over has any experience/advice/information - I'd be greatful to hear it!!!

you don't have to pay customs or duty on personal items. There's lots of information on the Customs and Border Protection website on what you'll need. It really depends on *what* and how much you're moving. If it all can fit into a suitcase with you on the plane, no worries at all. If you have to ship a houseload of stuff then the removal company should have the documents you'll need.

PLEASE DO NOT PRIVATE MESSAGE ME OR EMAIL ME. I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT CURRENT US IMMIGRATION PROCEDURES!!!!!

If you have alot then use a professional international company like Excess Baggage. They do it all for you and I did not pay a penny as they were all personal used effects.

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
