Clearing Customs at the U.S. and Canadian Borders
US Customs:
Technically the captain should go to www.cbp.gov or call (207) 532-2131 ext 255 for CASC in Houlton for info (such as no fresh citrus products can be on board). Practically, one can call Eastport at (207) 853-4313 for clearing between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Saturday or call Lubec at (207) 733-4331, open 24/7. The captain must walk to the office with registration and passports while all others stay on board awaiting clearance.
Canadian customs:
All recreational boaters are required to present themselves upon their arrival in Canada as per the Customs Act (CA) and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA). This includes all foreign boaters entering Canada, as well as private boaters who depart Canada and enter foreign waters, and subsequently return to Canada.
The process has been simplified and allows certain boaters to present themselves to the CBSA by calling the Telephone Reporting Centre (TRC) at 1-888-226-7277. Please visit the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) website and review the Simplified Cell Phone Reporting for Private Boaters fact sheet.
