The big question is also, will UA allow my 2 pieces of 32kg since I came from an international flight (that has a different baggage limit)?

Thanks

You always clear customs & immigration at your first point of entry in the US, thus you must recheck your bag. Note that this does *NOT* apply on your return trip--then your bag will be checked all the way through.

My experience is that on tickets with varying baggage rules that the most liberal applies to the whole ticket.
