Can I mix clothing and electronics in one shipment?

Possibly, with appropriate packing and a complete inventory. Batteries and certain electronics need advance confirmation.

Are used household items duty-free?

Do not assume so. Customs treatment depends on current rules and the circumstances of the shipment.
