Looking for some information regarding importing household goods/personal belongings. (I know many of you advise selling everything and moving with a few suitcases, but we have a decent amount of inherited furniture which I am forbidden to sell. We looked into storage, but the truth is that it is less expensive to ship a 20 foot container to our new home in Spain than it is to store everything. So here we are.)
I'm specifically wondering about the inventory list. I know there need to be two copies, in Spanish, with the items, approximate date of purchase and values. My questions are:
- How detailed does this need to be? Literally every item in every box, or can I group together similar items, ie. "cookbooks", "screwdrivers" or "Christmas decorations"?
- Should the values reflect what they cost new or a current value? What about gifted items or family heirlooms?
Thank you for any help!
