I'm posting these questions for a member, any help is appreciated.
I will be landing in the POP airport in the next few days with my parents.
I am arriving to stay for a few years, my parents are just coming for the trip and my wedding.
We will have a total of 8 LARGE suitcases?, 2 large size carryon each (total of 6 carry on items) and my LARGE wedding dress garment bag.
I Would like to know if there are any tips to avoiding excessive amounts of searching and delays at the airport since we have so many things.
One of the suitcases is filled with books and school supplies for a local school.
Most of the suitcases are shoes and clothes.
Any electronics (IPOD docking player, laptop, DJ mixer,wood working tool) are all mine and pre-owned.
My laptop & DJ Mixer will be in my backpack (carry-on)
There are a few household items for the kitchen, yard, bathroom etc, but they are all packed under all the clothes.
Is there any reason that we should rightfully be charged for any of this?
Is there some sort of limit/ allowance on what I can bring into the country since I am relocating? I do not have my work visa issued yet, but a letter of employment from a local company. Would that make any difference?
As well it will be evident we are carrying many things for the wedding (i.e. the huge garment bag with wedding dress, 1 full carryon bag with wedding decorations and items, and many wedding items in the suitcases).
Any advice/ tips on how to proceed in a manner that will make everything as smooth as possible when arriving? Not having to pay any fees or bribes? Would it count for positive to show my letter from my employer and explain I am relocating as well as getting married in the country?
