Border Crossing To U.S.

[Camper93]

Hello
Do you have to fill out any extra paper work to cross into the U.S.? I'm referring to the card you have to fill out at airports when flying to the U.S.
Thank you

Google "Crossing the border into the US". Lots of reading, but you'll save time in the long run. You may be asked a question or two at the border. Whatever you do, don't lie. They most likely already know the answer. When I was crossing northbound at Sweetwater MT. headed for Alaska, I handed my passport to the attendant. He asked me if I'd ever been fingerprinted. I said, "Maybe when I joined the Navy but I don't remember." DUH. My fingerprints were on the passport he was looking at.
There was a Canadian heading southbound at the same time and place. He was busy putting everything from his RV that wasn't permanently attached on a blanket on the ground. I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that he lied.

Camper93..obvioulsy you are new to all of this, including border crossing. Rule of thumb? Take no perishables with you. No meat, no veggies, no fruit. Even pet food can be a problem. No onions..no garlic, no bananas...leave it all behind and purchse when you get across. The rules change almost daily and the border people are very stringent.
