Candygirl Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 If it helps, after speaking to one shipper, who was incredibly helpful, she said to take all new items out of their original boxes. I have new furniture and bits and pieces. I have taken them out of their original wrapping and wrapped again in paper blankets and plastic wrap on the rolls. I was told that if things amount to over $1000, they will charge the duty on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvesaussie Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 do they have to prove they are new or do u have to prove they are not ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candygirl Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 do they have to prove they are new or do u have to prove they are not ? I don't know for definite, hope someone who does comes along, but personally I am not going to even go there with AQIS. I think the onus would be on us to prove that the items are not new.
