The blue and white customs form does not say to exclude what is a year or more old - it just says list all items acquired abroad. I think the GE Kiosk question is the same. So I have to list the blanket I bought in 2004 and has been in my home overseas ever since.
Of course when I can speak with a real person, it should clear things up. For the Kiosk I wonder if I should put $290 (goods less than a year old) or some much higher number that is everything I may have acquired since 2002.
