U.S.CANADA CUSTOMS Falcon Transport（美国）.pdf

U.S.-CANADA CUSTOMS Falcon does a lot of business in Canada, both picking up and delivering. The company often runs loads across Canada between Buffalo, NY, and Detroit, MI, as Canadian routes are approximately 75 miles shorter than U.S. routes. Each time a driver crosses the international border, the driver must “clear”, or be released by, the customs agency of the country they are entering. Crossing the international border and dealing with the U.S. and Canadian Customs Agents does not have to be the nightmare many drivers believe it to be. If the driver knows the basic facts about their load (the customer, the commodity, and the load count), makes sure the tractor is properly permitted, completes the required customs manifest and politely follows the instructions from the Customs Agents, the border crossing will not be an unpleasant experience. Most Customs Agents will help drivers who are unsure about the procedure or how to fill out a manifest. The paperwork required to cross the border differs depending on whether it is 1. a load that picked up in the U.S. and is crossing Canada to be delivered somewhere else in the U.S.; 2. a load that originated in Canada and is being delivered in to the U.S. ; or 3. a load that originates in the U.S. and delivers in Canada. Following are descriptions of paperwork required and the procedures to follow for each type of load. REQUIRED BORDER CROSSING DOCUMENTS You may provide any of the following at the border: a. NEXUS card b. U.S. Passport card c. Enhanced driver’s license d. FAST card LOADS THAT ORIGINATE IN U.S., CROSS CANADA AND DELIVER IN U.S. Loads that cross Canada between U.S. pickup and delivery points require a U.S.- CANADA TRANSIT MANIFEST(Form 7512B).
