The following tips to make your border crossing go smoothly have been gleaned from other sources including the web sites for US Customs and Canada Customs. Consult those sources for detailed information and for answers to questions about your particular situation.

Visitors to Canada should remember that the importation of firearms is strictly controlled. Travelers should be sure to declare all handguns, rifles and other forms of self defense and recreational weapons.

Travelers should keep in mind that border rules can, and do, change frequently. Agriculture, commercial importations (including small amounts of banned or quarantined foods) and firearms are the three main topics of concern at the Canadian-US borders.
