crossing border into US from Canada with tt

Don't bring any food or drinks with you. It is less $$$ across the line and they have some stuff that you can't get up here. Been across several times with never a problem, when they ask what is back there tell him but don't get out of your vehicle unless asked. I have found it harder to get back into Canada then it is to leave.

Any kids who aren't yours (grandkids, nieces, etc), should have their info and a letter of permission from their parents.

IDK if this is more stringent now, but this is how it was for flights when we went.

All of the above plus:

Use the regular auto lanes, not the truck lanes.
Roll down both front and rear TV windows.
Take off sunglasses and hats.
Have passports ready, if you have pets have vaccination paperwork ready.
Answer all questions truthfully.
Do not try to strike up a conversation with the guard.
Give the guard only what paperwork he/she asks for.

We travel into the US usually once or twice a year. If you keep your trailer locked while travelling, have the key ready to give to the guard. They will probably want to check.

Rather than trying to keep up with all of the latest restrictions on food, we generally just take a bare minimum with us and stop at the supermarket on the US side. It can be awfully hard to remember everything you have in the fridge. Generally anything that's been processed and in a sealed container is going to be okay. If not, they'll take it.

One more thing you will need: lots of patience, because the queue could be lengthy and the waiting time long.

Go to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection website. You will get the true information you seek.

Don't forget the passport or you passcard.

"firewood" is banned both ways (and crossing some state borders also)

Chicken from BC is banned. Whole tomatoes and bell peppers are banned. Sliced or cut up tomatoes and peppers are able to enter. Plants with soil on their roots are banned if not accompanied with a clearance certificate. Cut flowers are able to enter. Christmas trees are not allowed entry unless accompanied by a clearance certificate. Most meats from Asia, Africa, and Europe are banned. Moose meat, caribou meat, elk meat, bear meat, and migratory fowl meat is allowed to enter if crossing with the person who harvested it and that person is in possession of a valid Canadian license and that person has any applicable Canadian export permits in their possession. Hope this helps.

Proper ID would be either a current Cdn Passport or a current Nexis card. The card is only recognized between Canada and the US.

A search will provide a wealth of information
