Format of List of Goods to Follow??

rb2002

Registered Users (C)
Can someone please tell me if its necessary to include the value of goods in the list? For Eg. If we put our car in the list then do we put its original purchase price or the resale value ( car is about 2 years old).

Also if you list your gold jewellery, do you put its current value as well. Is there a maximum limit for that??

Are there any items one should avoid putting in the list..or any items that anyone encountered a problem with.

Thanks
 
Can someone please tell me if you have to have a "list of goods to follow". Can I just not declare anything at the time of landing, the reason being that I am not sure yet about what I want to take to Canada, when I actually move from the US. What happens at the time when I finally move and take stuff with me that I had not declared at the time I "landed".

Thanks for your help,
Joe

Hi Jeohardy,

Two copies of a detailed list of all personal or household items brought with you and a list of items to follow later.

Provide the total value of the goods.

When you arrive in Canada, give the list to officials of either Customs or Immigration.

You can always discard the stuff later that you do not want to take them along. we cannot afford to be foolhardy.

Also, the following is the format, I have compiled
for the goods-to-follow list.

Good-to-follow-

Item, Description/Make,Serial Num/Model(Elec. Goods), Quantity, Value(CAD)

For Electrical/electronics Goods if you cannot find a serial number
make a note of model number(like 2001,2002 etc.)
Copies of receipts for the mentioned Items, if any.

Hope this info solves your puzzle.

Vijay :)

Hi rb2002,

If you have the appraised value(like KBB value) of the car you can declare, otherwise never mind.

You have to declare car's make/model and VIN number(copies registration/title) etc.
Anyhow you would not be paying custom duty on it apart from registration fee.

And for the Jewellery you should be able to come up with the approximate value, as we cannot appraise exact market value unless you go to a professional.

Hope this info helps you.

Thanks for your response Vijay. Still need some more clarification. My question was that "do we HAVE to have a list of goods to follow". Can I tell them that I am planning to sell off my car and furniture etc. before leaving the US for Canada and that I am planning to buy a new car and stuff in Canada, when I move for good.

Thanks again for your help,

Joe

If you do not intend to bring any, then you are not required to declare any.

All the best.
