Hi, I can't remember if I posted this a while back or not but thought it was worth posting again if I had! I was checking about shipping my dress out to the States and decided not to due to customs and duty payable even though I had bought it and was just shipping it to myself. The customs guy told me to take a copy of the receipt (if it wasn't bought in the US) to prove that it was a personal item, ie over 6 months old. He also told me to take proof of hire if taking suits out too. Thought it might be useful info
we had no problems, all the suits were packed in cases and my dress was in a case that was the biggest i could take on board and no problems what so ever. The best men took all 7 suits with them when they flew home and had no problems on the way back and my mum took the dress with no problems
