US Customs Form

[Richard-UK 2]

Good afternoon all

Here is an interesting question. When you enter the USA with your visa you obviously have to fill out a US Customs Form. As EVERYTHING you are carrying will remain in the USA, what do you actually write on the form?

As I remember you have to list everything you bought outside the USA that will remain in the USA.

Probably nothing to worry about but it is one of those irritating little questions that needs to be eliminated!

Best wishes to all

Ritchard, My Mom and Dad had the same question so I called US Customs at Boston Logan to see if they could help... They told me that they need to write on the white customs form "New Immigrant all items are for personal use only" That is what they did and they had no issues at the customs check..

Least with a family, you only had to fill out one custom form, made my wife do that, was way too busy enjoying eating a 1/4 ounce bag of peanuts. She did ask me if I was carrying over $10,000.00 in cash in my pocket, said, are you kidding. Don't forget to bring a pen, flight attendant passes those forms out right before you land, but no pen. Normally if it's just a stopover for your next flight and you stay in the prison confined area, you don't have to fill those out, they don't tell you that. When you go through customs, have to hand it in, don't even believe they looked at ours after all that work. When you are standing in a line with 300 people in front of you, really don't think they have the time. So just ask you if you have anything to declare.

I found an old Technics DL-33 at my wife's condo, had to have that, it's a classic, so took it all apart and packed it in with our luggage, had a hell of a time explaining that through customs. Don't wear any Mickey Mouse underwear, they will give you a strange look. The joys of traveling, if I have to make a 2,000 mile trip in the USA, will drive first.
