Moving from Panama to United States

Ocean 2 a 4 weeks
Air 3 a 7 days
Usual entry Miami · Houston · Nueva York

This is the busiest corridor out of Panama and the shortest by sea. Miami is the usual port of entry, with onward forwarding overland across the country, so a move to Denver or Chicago still routes through Florida.

Who moves there

Work transfers, students, families with residency, and Panamanians splitting life between both countries.

What customs asks for

The US allows used household goods in duty-free when they have been in use and travel with the person relocating. The valued inventory and the corresponding customs form are required. New, unused items are dutiable.

Tip

If your final destination is far from the east coast, ask about overland forwarding cost from Miami before deciding: sometimes a different port works out better.
