I travel back and forth between NY and Ontario fairly regularly. Here’s a few tips for US citizens that will insure smooth passage thru Customs.

Entering Canada:

1 – When asked your destination in Canada, be VERY specific (name the town). Likewise be specific about your reason for traveling and how long you plan to be in Canada.

2 – Make sure your vehicle and trailer registration/inspection stickers are current, and that all license plates are clearly visible.

3 – If you have guns or a radar detector, leave ‘em at home!

Returning into the US:

1 – Have your photo ID (valid driver’s license) out of your wallet and ready to present to the inspector. (If you have a valid passport good idea to bring it with you, though I’ve never been asked to present one.) This applies to any adult passengers too. If you have minors on board, be ready to explain who they are and their relationship to you. Keep in mind also the inspector will have run your vehicle’s registration prior to your arrival the front of the line booth. He/she will already know plenty about the registered owner BEFORE you arrive!

2 – Again be specific when asked what your reason for visiting, how long you were in Canada and what you purchased/are bringing back to the US.

3 – While I’ve never brought in a tractor I have brought in boats, engines, etc purchased in Canada. A bill of sale describing the tractor (including serial numbers if they can be found) will expedite your passage through US Customs.

4 – Be respectful. Answer questions briefly and honestly. If you are wearing dark glasses, take ‘em off and look the inspector in the eye. Above all DO NOT kid or joke with the inspectors!

Good luck!
