Moving to

the United States

Form 3299

You should be aware that neither us or any other mover has any direct control over the
enforcement of customs regulations or policies. Therefore we encourage you to directly contact the
appropriate agencies or consulates to obtain detailed information, specific to your individual situation.
In some instances, it will be necessary for you to obtain pre-clearance certificates or to post bonds in accordance with
various regulations. Your employer or solicitor can assist in these matters on your behalf so it is always wise to consult
with them as early in the process as possible.

Importation requirements will vary depending on your customs status. There are three main categories:
• Returning Residents
• Non Resident / First Time Immigrants
• Part-Time/Season Residents
For assistance in determining your residency status contact the Citizenship and Immigration Service at www.uscis.gov/

You are required to complete a U.S. customs form 3299. You should make 4 copies of this form (all with original
signatures). Give three copies to us and keep one for yourself. This is given to our driver. He presents the form to the U.S. customs official
at the border along with a copy of your Bill of Lading
and a copy of your descriptive household goods inventory form.

here are a few that may prevent any clearance problems:
• Use your full name - not initials
• Only enter the full name of any family members who are
accompanying you to the U.S. if they have received their
visas. Otherwise, just list the name of the main importer
who has a visa.
• Even though there is not a specific box for it on the form,
mark your Social Insurance Number or your U.S. Social
Security Number on the top of the form.
• Give a copy of your entry/work/study visa (front and back)
to your Atlas sales representative.
• Provide a copy of your “offer of employment” letter (with
the salary information marked out).
• Provide a copy of all pages from your passport including a
clear copy of your photo page. Returning U.S. Residents
do not require a passport. A copy of your birth certificate
and one piece of photo identification (i.e. driver’s license) is
acceptable.
• If your spouse has a different surname, then you should
attach a copy of your marriage certificate to your form
3299. Remember not to list your spouse unless he/she has
an entry visa.

Usually you don't need to be present at the border when your goods clear customs, you should precede your goods into the United
States to ensure your status is approved. If for some reason, the
goods cannot be cleared at the border (generally if paperwork is
not in order) then U.S. customs will place the shipment “in
bond”. You will then have to report to a customs office at
destination to “personally” clear your shipment. If you are not
available, they will request that we put the shipment into storage
in a “bonded” warehouse thus incurring extra charges for you.
