USA Customs and Imports
When moving to the USA from Wales, navigating customs regulations is a critical part of the process. The United States has strict rules about what can be brought into the country, and Britannia Robbins is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring your belongings meet all requirements.
When shipping personal effects to the USA, customs typically allow used household goods to enter duty-free, provided you have owned them for at least 12 months and that they are for personal use. Items intended for resale, new items, or items still in their original packaging may be subject to duties and taxes.
The USA has stringent regulations regarding prohibited and restricted items. Some items can’t be imported under any circumstances, while others may require special permits. Prohibited items include narcotics, ivory products, counterfeit goods, and certain types of firearms. Items such as alcohol, tobacco, and plants may be subject to additional inspection and/or require an import permit. It’s essential to check the latest guidelines or consult with our team to ensure compliance.
To clear your belongings through customs in the USA, you’ll need certain documentation, such as your passport, visa, a detailed inventory, and the required declaration form. Our experienced team will help you prepare these documents, ensuring everything is accurate and submitted on time.
Once your shipment arrives in the USA, it will be inspected by customs officials. This process can vary depending on the port of entry and the complexity of your shipment. Britannia Robbins works closely with customs to expedite the process and avoid unnecessary delays.
