Finally moving my stuff from Canada to USA, What forms are needed?

[Reebsrae 17]

I'm finally able to get my belongings and bring them back to the United States with me. What do forms do I need to fill out? I am only getting form 3299 showing up but this is for unaccompanied goods. I will be bringing my stuff with me. So what form is needed so I can list and declare my items!?

Country-specific thread is moved from the K-1 Process forum to the Canada regional forum.

You will need a packing list for each box. Not fully detailed but by categories. Eg books, clothing, kitchen appliances. You will need to attest to having owned everything, or had in your possession, for over 12 months. Some items, such as motor vehicles, require extra paperwork

That's it?! I have everything listed on paper and by box. (ex: Box 1- pots and pans, Box 2- home decor etc etc) I don't need to fill out any form? Just have a list of what's in the boxes? That's a lot simpler than I had expected! Thank you!

 

Thankfully no vehicle is coming with me. I sold it as it only had the option of KM on the speedometer and to change the dashboard would have cost me over 4k (my quote I received) not worth all the hassle imo.

Yup, just your packing list and proof of residency (in your passport or your physical green card).

That's it.  It's hard to believe it's that simple after everything else was challenging!

Just a list of each box. I spent a lot of time numbering each box and listing its general contents (tools, office supplies, etc.) and the cbp officer asked what was in the truck (uhaul). I said all of my belongings, he asked if I had any food. I offered the packing list and he didn’t want it. Just told me to have a good day.

Usual story.  But had you not had the list, they'd have ripped the Uhaul apart and looked at everything.  Murphy's Law.  

 

Good luck with your travel and unpacking!
