1) If you do it that way, but you have >$800 in goods, does one split the declaration (I have $600, wife has $500)?

2) Can you use the GE customs line for everyone?

I am curious whether anyone has tried with spouse also with GE but child <14 (so not eligible). I was told at IAD interview that they likely would allow this, but no guarantee.
