BORDER RULES * USA/Canada - Trucks Take Security Upgrade in Stride
Customs sees no fallout from Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative
Washington,DC,USA -The Journal of Commerce, by John Gallagher -Jun 12, 2009: -- Trade moving by truck across the U.S.-Canadian border is so far unaffected by the start of the latest security upgrade two weeks ago... The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, which took effect June 1, requires drivers entering the United States from Canada to have a valid passport or other special form of identification, such as a NEXUS or FAST card... Initial concerns of delays and diverted freight resulting from the new requirement have so far not materialized, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection... Joanne Ferreira, a CBP official said, that truck drivers arriving at the border without the appropriate credentials “may face a delay as officers confirm citizenship, but they will not be denied entry"...
