Pre-departure shipping checklist

✅ Book your CourierVia pickup 7–10 days before your flight

Moving permanently? You may not owe customs duty. If you are relocating to the USA for work or study, your used personal belongings (clothes, books, kitchenware) may qualify for personal-effects relief — meaning no customs duty on items you have owned and used. CourierVia helps you complete the declaration correctly so you don't pay tax on things you already own.
