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.
I think you are going overboard on this. I would just list anything that looks obviously new or unused. I have moved from overseas back to the US twice, returning each time loaded with luggage and only listing anything obviously new, well less than the $400 customs limit. No problem either trip.
