Thank you!
How detailed did you get for the items you shipped?
Not very. My moving company sent me a sample pro-forma to populate. It was dated, had my name on it, from/to shipping addresses, a description of goods ("Used personal and household effects as listed below, all of which have been in my use and possession abroad in my normal home for at least six months"), then a bulleted list of what I brought (item # 1, highboy dresser, item #2, women's clothing (skirts, shoes, sweaters, outerwear, accessories, item #3, decorative items (magazine rack, decorative art prints and photos, etc), and so on). I had 17 items altogether. At the bottom of the form, I included a total value in GBP (I approximated, and this was consistent with the insurance value I purchased through my moving company), and then I signed and dated it.
