United KingdomYes!! It's another shipping thread
Sorry, I wasn't implying you were.

I think we may be talking cross purposes here. All I want to do is do it the correct/recommended way to avoid US Customs charging me import duty on my computer, which would probably amount to quite a bit. I'm part of a community which ships a lot of videogame related stuff internationally, and I often hear of people stung for import duty. That's why I want to make sure.

If Seven Seas are to be believed, I'm doing it the right way, so that's one less thing to stress about.

Pretty much, I'll get there a while before my stuff will. I didn't realise I could send it all to Shan ahead of time, I'm surprised that's not exploited for sending commercial goods to avoid import tax. I thought I read somewhere I had to arrive in the US before my stuff did, although wasn't sure if I had to prove I was emigrating by showing my visa.

Apparently, Seven Seas will take a copy of my passport and query whether i've left the country or something.

I just rang Seven Seas Worldwide to clarify. If you are emigrating, you need to arrive in the US before your goods do. If you don't, your goods aren't tax exempt and potentially seen as a commercial transaction.

Just ordered my boxes from them, as they seem to offer the cheapest service (sadly Allfreight don't do a ship service where I'm moving to, only air). He said to get it all packed up and then ring a few days before I leave.

Hmm, interesting. For the purposes of tax exemption on the items you move, I thought I'd read you had to show you're emigrating and that the goods couldn't arrive before you.

Have I got the wrong end of the stick?

United KingdomYes!! It's another shipping thread
Just in the middle of trying to sort out some shipping stuff, one thing I'm not clear on is when I'm good to order. I'm still waiting for the visa after the interview last week (assuming the medical results are clear). Do I need to have my visa in hand to order shipping? Or if not, will they need to see it at some point?

Yours hopelessly confused!

Went to late biometrics appointment yesterday (January 12) because we were out of town when the original appointment was scheduled. Fortunately, the Des Moines office was nice and quiet, so it didn't take very long at all. :)

Just realized that we haven't been added to the list. I would do it myself, but I post from my phone which makes copying and pasting a bit tricky.
We sent our file to CSC on the 8th. Thank you!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAnyone else?
Not sure if we're November or December filers, our package was received on the 30th Nov but the NOA1 was dated 6th Dec!

Anyway, no touch as of yet, unfortunately. Seems to have taken a month for you to get a touch, Queen Jenn, so perhaps we'll have one in the next couple of weeks or so smile.gif

Might want to rename the thread to "November filers" or something, our other thread has disappeared off the radar!
