Canada to USA:


The Small Vessel Reporting System (SVRS) is no longer in service and float plans will no longer be accepted. Boaters looking for a new, faster way to report their arrival and/or apply for a registered boater program may use the CBP ROAM app, available for free on the Apple App and Google Play stores. Boaters may also continue to report their arrival via designated telephone reporting numbers, if desired. The links below provide details as well as links to additional informational websites.


USA to Canada:


It appears visitors to Canada (and returning Canadian citizens) no longer need to fill out ArriveCan app information before entry, but it is optional. However, CBSA reporting requirements must be followed. The links below provide details as well as links to additional informational websites.


Declaration of Food Items:


Unfortunately there is not one comprehensive website that covers admissibility of all food items to each country. Allowable items can change daily and can be confirmed by calling border services in each country. Some general guidelines are available through the following websites and associated links.
