Inheritance			Inherited goods imported into the United States cannot be brought in duty-free as household or personal effects unless they meet the following criteria: They are antiques (over 100 years old) and you have documentation to prove this. They were available for your use in a household where you resided for a year prior to your moving to the United States. It does not have to be the year prior to the inheritance, for example, they were in your parents house while you were growing up. Even if the above conditions do not apply to your inherited goods, because most inherited goods are used, the amount of duty assessed will most likely be small.
Importing an Automobile or Other Vehicle	Proof of ownership		It is important to know that any imported vehicle, new or used, must comply with U.S. safety, fuel savings, and air pollution control standards. If an imported vehicle does not conform to these standards, it must be brought into conformity; otherwise it must be destroyed or exported. Both the Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) advise that although a nonconforming car may be conditionally admitted, modifications may be impractical, impossible, or require such extensive engineering that the labor and material cost may be prohibitive. Foreign automakers can also certify whether or not an automobile conforms to U.S. standards. Additional information on importing an automobile can be found on the U.S. Customs Web site at www.customs.gov under Publications, Videos and Forms in the Importing and Exporting section, and on the DOT website and on the EPA website. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also requires that the undercarriage of imported cars be free from foreign soil before they can be entered into the United States. This may be done by steam spray or by thorough cleaning before shipment.
