I crossed in early Oct towing a trailer on a tourist visa. They opened the trailer, looked for a moment and asked if I thought everything was worth $1,000. I thought for a moment and said probably, they said ok, $147 please, I got a green light and was gone. I had a new flat TV, 3 pc's, clothes, dishes etc.
