...do these items need to be declared? they are for her personal use...is there any limit to how many she can bring with her?
Nah, unless she's got millions of them and could resell them!
Limit I guess is up to her baggage allowance or more if she wants to pay excess. My wonderful partner bought 60kgs of books to take home to Russia. I ferried them over using my 20kg allowance plus a pair of socks and an underpant as a change of clothes for me for two weeks.
Eventually got them over, now she's here we're ferrying them back plus what's she's collected in Berlin, plus what's she's left at a friends in Hamburg.
When she finishes her placement in Berlin in Oct, me and my two daughters are going over to come back with her, empty cases outbound, loaded up to the gills inbound. Can't wait.....
