    Shipping to the US- customs limits

    Anyone know what the monetary threshold is for sending secondhand goods for personal use into the US? If I google it, I just hit an immediate morass of complexity. I've found a figure of $800, but as this is the US and its miles of red tape, would like some kind of confirmation.

    Just put it in your suitcases and check them as your own personal items. Carry them on if you have to, even if its in a paper bag. Why go through all the hassle, including possibly buying insurance. Also, none of the AC powered items except for laptops and mobile devices will work there anyway. You will end up with a fire if you try..
