customs forms confusion

[robertbola]

I have the two forms b4 & B4A however I'm lost to understand how to complete them.  Here are my questions..

1)   Both form B4 & B4A have a list and they seem to ask for the same thing....do I fill the same information on both forms.
2)   If I have money that will be transferred at a later date (ie: life insurance) how do I account fo that?
3)   All Conveyances must .......etc etc...what are conveyances????


Can someone please help me with this....I don't have much to claim just some clothing and one laptop and an ipod that all so I'm lost how to fill these forms out.

The two forms are Goods Accompanying (what you will bring with you when you land), and Goods to Follow (what will come later).  Identify the money on the Goods to Follow form.  Conveyances means property/real estate owned I think.  If I'm wrong, PMM or ImmOfficer will correct me.  They know more about these.

I hear people use spreadhseets as well---is there a reason for this.

Thanks...

Yep, if they've got lots of stuff to declare.  Some people just like to control the organization of everything too.  Different strokes for different folks!  But they would have attached these spreadsheets to the required forms.

1.  You don't declare money or property on the GTF forms.
2.  Look in the center of the B4 there is a box, to check to say if the list is for Goods to Follow or Goods in possession.

On the B4 form--- is that for goods to follow or the ones I want to claim now.....I don't want to claim anything now so do I leave the B4 ones emplty and just have everything on the B4A form.

Thanks
