My husband and I are planning to retire to Cuenca in December 2013.  Our first question for the forum:  We have a pretty extensive wine collection.  Are we allowed to bring it with us when we ship our initial good?  Is there a limit to the amount we can bring in?

Welcome on board sandykrafty ;)

That's a very interesting question. I hope other members of the site will help you out soon.

We do too! Thank you so much.

Aduana allows you to bring under the "menaje de casa" all your personal belongings without duty.

Since the wine collection is a personal belonging, in my opinion I would say you can definitely bring it. However, it's best if you consult with the shipping company you plan to use to confirm.

Has anyone acutally used any specific shipping company and if so, which one?  What is the process and what is your feedback?

Thanks, Barbara
