Good day,

I tried searching through the threads but couldn't find anything that would answer my question. Basically i want to pack my stuff up into boxes and create lists for all of them so that when time comes i could have some stuff packed and ready. But after packing some of my stuff i ran into a problem. See i have a hobby - electronics. I like to solder stuff and build various gadgets (usually soldering junk components to get some crappy invention that i don't use). Over several years i have collected quite a few servo motors, screws, rods, bearings and various other mechanical / electronic stuff. Most of this stuff is junk really that i salvaged from old radios or so.

My questions are following:
Can / Should I ship all this junk with me to CA? I know its junk but it took me years to gather this up and i would be sad to lose it all (since i couldn't sell it for anything, i would have to dispose of it).
If i have lets say box full of tiny bags with 5-20 tiny screws in them, must i declare all screw types / counts in my list? If so, my list would be hundreds of pages long.

Thank you all for your experience / opinions on this matter.

Ask your shipping company what they recommend.

Well i did try this once. Few months ago i called shipping company to ask if they would ship a car packed with stuff in it (i was evaluating possibilities). I also asked if they know of any papers i have to fill with CIC. They basically told me this:

"For right price we will ship anything to any place in CA you want. You will have to find out what CIC requires from you because we have nothing to do with immigration. We only provide shipping service."

Maybe i just had bad luck with that company...

Also please ask your question here as it doesn't have anything to do with the express entry process. They should be more people to answer you here:
