U.S. CUSTOMS INFORMATION, MAY 2003
As an international traveler, you should be aware of the rules for
bringing items back from your trip. For example, did you know that the
duty-free personal exemption was recently raised to $800? Five
publications of the U.S. Bureau of Customs and Border Protection
provide comprehensive information on what you must declare, the
duty-free exemption, what items are duty-free, paying duty, sending
goods to the United States, unaccompanied purchases from insular
possessions and Caribbean countries, duty-free shops, prohibited and
restricted items, money and other monetary instruments, traveling back
and forth across the border, and photographic film. A sample customs
declaration form with instructions is included. Publications from
other U.S. government agencies supply additional information on lead
in ceramic ware and laws and regulations governing use of wildlife in
arts and crafts.
