When we filled out the form we itemized electronics individually i.e. laptop, smart phone, iPod, etc. with the Canadian value of each and for clothes we didn't itemize them, we simply put 'clothes' with an approximate/guesstimate Canadian value (on the higher end -- rounded up). As for misc. items I would suggest 'guesstimating' again. My hubby brought his great grandfather's harmonica. How are you truly supposed to put a price on that? Maybe we should have put 'priceless' in the value column. ;)

We didn't encounter any problems and I think the Immigration officer was just happy we completed the form because I don't think a lot of people do. :D
Thank you. Ok so you ddn't seperate all the clothes and guestimated the cost of most things. Did you have to pay any duty on any of it? Or is that the point of this list. To itemize your on personal items so you don't have to pay duty on it?

We itemized everything except clothing and put the approximate value for each.

Correct, you will not pay any duty on these items.

Hi everyone! I'm new here and reading through this forum has helped me so much in knowing what to expect with this whole crazy immigration process, so thank you! I will be going down to Jamaica early next year to marry my fiance and will be starting the application process immediately after that, so I still have a long journey ahead of me but I know it will be well worth it :D

I need help!!!


Ok so the guy we normally rent a car from isn't renting cars anymore and I need a car rental in Kingston for 9 days. I'm looking for something where i don't need to get a bank load to add a deposit on for the week... LOL

Anyone know of companies where a huge deposit isn't required?

Thanks
