Have you been living abroad and plan to be moving or returning to the United States?
Amco Freight International can help with the smooth importation of your personal goods. Whether you are looking to import a small appliance, furniture, machinery or a recreational vehicle such as a car, boat, airplane or even your all of your household possessions, our customs specialists have the directed expertise to handle these non-commercial goods.
Importing personal effects is very
different from handling typical commercial
goods or products for resale. It can be a
difficult and time-consuming process if not
handled correctly. In addition many Customs
Brokers choose NOT to handle personal effects
because they are one-time shipments. Since
this has been one of our areas of expertise
for several decades we are knowledgeable of
the type of documentation necessary for
various commodities based upon their country
of export and we specialize in one-time
shipments. This ensures that your possessions
will be expedited through what could
otherwise be a lengthy process.
In preparation of importing your personal
effects we help you to avoid any penalties
for undeclared items can be severe.
Typical needed information is:
- A complete list of each item being imported
- The value of each item stated at current market value stated in the currency used for valuation
- A copy of your passport
