Folks,
After the new year, I'll be heading to the USA to work for 6 months. Rather than take my guitar out there, I want to by myself another guitar while there. Will I be expected to declare it as goods and pay import duties on my return in June and if so, what duties are applied?
The guitar is purely a hobby and nothing at all to do with my work.
All replies appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
