| |
| COMPLETION
OF PART IV D |
| |
| If you have
marked any of the boxes 1-11 overleaf, you must list the relevant items
on this table. |
|
| In column

| |
|
| In column
(2) describe the items. If you are describing alcoholic beverages, show
the number of bottles, the size of the bottles, value per bottle, type of
beverage, alcohol content if wine or champagne and proof on hard liquor.
If you are listing a large quantity of items of a particular type i.e. kitchenware,
do not list separately each saucepan, and utensil, but make a heading "Kitchenware",
the same with for instance furniture, do not list each bed, sofa, chair,
etc. but make a heading "Furniture". In the case of an English person moving
to the U.S. they may find that boxes 7 and 8 relate to the whole contents
of their house. They should therefore, use headings such as Furniture, Soft
furnishings, Electrical items, Linens, China, Pictures, Ornaments, Kitchenware,
Garden items, etc. which would encompass the whole contents of their household.

| In column (3)
show the second hand value of each item, or each heading or in the case
of Box 11 the cost of the repairs carried out. The value should be in U.S.

you have used this currency. Do not mix currencies. |

nothing to declare, please leave the above section blank, as our packing
crew will prepare an inventory at the time of collection. This will be sufficient
for customs clearance purposes. |
