The length of time you must own something for it to be considered personal property and not subject to import duty varies by country, but a common rule of thumb is at least 6 to 12 months of prior ownership before import.

Key factors most customs authorities consider:

Ownership duration – Usually at least 6 months prior to import.

Usage – The item must have been used by you (not new or unused).

Intention – It must be for personal use, not for resale.

Residency change – If you're relocating, many countries offer duty-free import for household goods under "personal effects" if owned and used for 6–12 months before moving.

Temporary import – If you're just visiting (not moving), some countries allow temporary import of personal items duty-free, assuming you'll take them back when you leave.

Examples:

U.S.: No duty on personal effects used abroad for 1+ year. For moves, household goods used for 1 year may be duty-free.

UK: To claim Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief, goods must have been owned and used for at least 6 months.

EU countries: Often require 6+ months of ownership and use before import to qualify for relief from duty/VAT.

Canada, You can bring personal belongings duty- and tax-free if:

You owned and used the goods before arriving.

You have owned, used, and possessed the goods for at least 6 months before your arrival (this is key).

The goods are for personal use only, not resale.

You are settling in Canada as a new resident, former resident returning, or temporary resident (like a student or worker).

Common items that qualify:

Furniture, electronics, clothes

Tools of your trade

Vehicles (with separate requirements – more below)

Used the same code from 2023. https://tttthis.com/blog/kali-install-2-in-2024

NOTE, you couldn't just install GIMP in 2024.

OBS, remember, installs VLC, so if you install it do:

obs-studio

apt-get purge vlc
apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get purge vlc-data
sudo apt-get remove browser-plugin-vlc

Brave browser

sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl
sudo curl -fsSLo /usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/brave-browser-archive-keyring.gpg arch=amd64] https://brave-browser-apt-release.s3.brave.com/ stable main"|sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/brave-browser-release.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install brave-browser

Bitwig from the website (use .deb), but Gdebi has same dependency issue as always, so:

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update

apt list --upgradable

sudo apt-get update      

sudo apt install zlib1g:i386

sudo apt --fix-broken install

Then

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo apt-get update

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:pipewire-debian/pipewire-upstream
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install pipewire pipewire-audio-client-libraries
systemctl --user daemon-reload

VirtualBox (if QEMU still sucks)

Check your OS with lsb_release -a and then download the .deb from their website. It will probably install in gdebi, but when you open a VM it will probably error Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)

So do:

Run /sbin/vboxconfig like this:

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

But if you get a kernel headers error (kernel modules), do:

sudo apt update

then

sudo apt install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

then try again with:

sudo /sbin/vboxconfig

(Worked for me on then.)

In new Vbox VMs, I install Brave

Do things:

• Time zone: cuba, or Latin American countries are listed like 'Americas/CountryName'
• Power Manager (otherwise it will dim after 120seconds): Keep screen from locking:
• Top-left menu > Settings > Power Manager > (fourth tab) Security > Automatically lock: Never, and uncheck []Lock screen when system is going to sleep
• in Power Settings, you have to click the top buttons for ‘plugged in’ and ‘on battery’ and do both
• Menu > Keyboard > Layout, unlock the Default settings and +add Spanish, and set a ‘Change layout option.' I selected Ctrl-shift to change language input
• Disable login screen. Didn't find a way.
