BORDER NEWS * USA/CANADA - APHIS rolls out smoothly
CTA boss laments 'theatre of security'
Fort Erie,Ont,CAN -Today`s Trucking -1 June 2007: -- Truck traffic flow to U.S. border crossings is pretty much normal today, despite it being the start of a new fee collection program by U.S. Customs and Border Protection... Beginning today, an additional levy of $5.25 (US) per truck, per crossing, is being charged to all southbound trucks. The Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) fee is to fund additional agricultural quarantine inspections at the border. All trucks, regardless of what they're hauling, have to pay up, however... Ontario Trucking Association Vice President Stephen Laskowski says he hasn't fielded any calls from carriers reporting problems at the border. "I'm not surprised though. Most of our carriers buy the transponder. You'd be foolish not to. The fee is already built into the transponder"... (Photo: There's been little or no reported delays caused by the APHIS fee charged to truckers heading to the U.S.)
