Hi all
In regard to goods bringing with us upon landing, is there a weight limit?.. second, with the goods to follow, I have 2 boxes of brand new cookingware and 2 boxes of brand new bed sheets, do I need to pay tax coz it's not used items?...

thanks

1) The only weight limit is what the airline bringing you over dictates. 20kg typically for charter (Transat, Zoom, etc), 2x32kg on BA, etc. This is per person. Charter airlines will sting you for excess, 5GBP per kilo usually.

2) As long as it's declared in your goods to follow list, should not have to pay tax.

Thank you so much.

I think that technically you are supposed to have owned, possessed and used it abroad (I thought there was something about having owned the items for 6 months, but can't find that bit now), unless it's a wedding gift from and the wedding occurred within 3 months of arrival

See the the second page of the B4 form under the Tariff Item 9807.00.00 (Settler) section, top of the second column

Well, looks like the OP will have to remove said items from their original packaging then!!

yup, that's my plan. Remove all packaging materials and transfer everything into new boxes. We don't have a lot to ship but overtime been buying new cookingware as I love cooking plus it's cheaper here in the US.

thanks
