What Happens When Shipping Household Goods After 6-months of Residency

5 years ago
Hi All,

I am in the process of doing some research regarding the shipping of personal items from NY to Italy. I've read that personal items can be shipped duty free within 6-months of residency, however, I've had residency for over two years. Does anyone know if I'd be charged taxes or other fees from Italy and/or what the anticipated fees would be? I am shipping small items - approximately 20 plastic bins (or comparable packaging) and a dresser. No other furniture.

I would also appreciate the name of shipping forwarders if anyone has one they used and liked.

Thanks much!
