Reasons My Baggage customers ship to USA:
The journey to the United States is long-haul and, unsurprisingly, there are those who wish to avoid the nightmare of hauling their suitcase or heavy bags on such a long journey. After all, it’s one less thing to worry about. Thankfully, My Baggage’s convenient and affordable shipping services make for the perfect alternative to airline baggage.
When you book a bag on your flight, you have to keep in mind your airline’s restrictive, less-than-generous baggage weight allowances when packing up all of your personal belongings. It means you may have to make the sacrifice that no one wants to make; leaving many of your beloved personal belongings behind. Even then, you might still be faced with a nasty surprise at the check-in desk, meaning you’ll have to cough up extortionate excess baggage fees. When travelling long-haul, it’s not an ideal situation.
Thankfully, My Baggage allows you to ship a massive 30kg/66lbs per suitcase at fantastic low rates. You also have the option to pay extra for even heavier bags, if you need to. That means you’ll never have to leave any of your beloved possessions behind again.
If you’re a student travelling to the USA to study abroad, or perhaps if you are emigrating with your family; our generous baggage weight allowance and the ability to send as many items as you like with us can come in particularly useful. It allows you to bring more possessions with you than if you were simply relying on a few checked pieces of luggage.
Shipping your excess baggage to the USA with My Baggage also makes that dreaded, tedious wait for the appearance of your suitcase at the luggage carousel in the airport a thing of the past. (Not to mention the possibility of your suitcase not appearing at all, which is every traveller’s worst nightmare!) My Baggage ships your luggage quickly and safely.

Send a Parcel to USA

At My Baggage, we don’t just ship personal effects and suitcases to the United States – we can send parcels and gifts, too. Before you place your booking, be sure to do some research into USA customs; particularly when it comes to sending gifts.

Shipping Sporting Equipment to the USA
If you’re travelling to the USA, you might want to bring sporting equipment along with you. The USA boasts some of the world’s best golf courses, such as Pine Valley and Augusta National. Similarly, there are numerous ski resorts to be found in the US, including Aspen and Lake Tahoe. Instead of renting gear, you can bring your own without any hassle or extortionate airline fees. Please do note, however, if you are shipping your bicycle to the United States with My Baggage, it will need to be dismantled and packaged up in a box so that we can transport it easily and safely. Your local bicycle shop should be more than happy to do this for you for a small fee.

When shipping to the United States, all goods must pass through customs to be cleared. Therefore, you are legally required to complete and send a customs invoice with your shipment to the USA. Whether you’re sending personal effects or a gift to a loved one; if your shipment does not have a customs invoice attached, it will not make it past your local country border, and you may have to pay return charges to get it back. My Baggage will automatically provide you with the appropriate customs documents for you to complete, print, sign and attach to your shipment when you send your luggage to the USA with us.
Generally, My Baggage shipments clear customs in a timely manner, free from duties and taxes, as most countries offer a generous duty-free allowance for personal effects. However, as customs processes and allowances are different around the world, and because My Baggage has no direct association with any customs authority; we do advise doing your own personal research into USA customs regulations and quarantine before booking your shipment to the USA. Please make yourself aware of potential customs duties in the USA and be sure to follow any and all advice provided by customs directly.
When completing your customs documents, it is important to do so properly and clearly. In order to demonstrate that your shipment consists of personal effects, you will be required to accurately describe each item included in the package. For example, you would declare: “4 x t-shirts, 2 x pairs of jeans, 3 x dresses” etc, as opposed to “10 x clothing”.
Shipping Gifts To USA
Thinking of sending a gift to a loved one? Gifts worth up to $100 may be sent, free of duty and tax, to friends and relatives at a residential address in the United States, as long as the same person does not receive more than $100 worth of gifts in a single day. If the gifts are shipped from an insular possession this threshold is increased to $200. Gifts for more than one person may be shipped in the same package, called a “consolidated gift package”. They must be individually wrapped and labelled with each recipient’s name.

My Baggage allows you to ship your personal belongings anywhere in the world, meaning you can send almost everything you would typically find in a standard holiday suitcase. However, for security and customs reasons, there are certain items which are prohibited and cannot be carried; as is standard with most shipping companies across the world.
As a general rule, you can be sure that the following items are prohibited:
As well as this, there are also a number of items that can be carried on the service, however, they are sent at your own risk as they are not covered under our compensation cover. If you choose to send any non-compensation items, please ensure they are packaged appropriately, with plenty of internal packaging for any fragile items.
Find out more about My Baggage’s prohibited and non-compensation items.
As import allowances, security and customs processes differ around the world; we recommend that you do your own personal research into what may be prohibited in your destination country before booking. For example, other items are specifically restricted from entry in the US by customs. These include ink and other poisonous materials.
What type of packaging can be used?
When shipping your belongings to the United States with My Baggage, we recommend using either suitcases or strong cardboard boxes. Or, of course, you can use a mixture of both!
We advise against using fragile or expensive suitcases, as they are not covered by our compensation cover. We also recommend that you tape over any handles, etc to protect them. With regards to boxes, it’s always best to invest in a new, sturdy, double-walled (or even triple-walled) cardboard box as they are most durable and suitable for transit.
If you are sending any fragile or delicate items, we recommend using internal packaging to protect them during transit. You can use materials such as bubble wrap or newspapers.
