GVWR and Borders

[isonychia]

Has anyone taken their FWC across the Canadian border and back through again? Are there issues if you are a little over GVWR with border crossings?

 

[Vic Harder]

yep. They never looked at my tags.

They seemed to be mostly interested in fruits & vegetables and citizenship status. Eat all your fresh fruits & veggies before approaching border from either direction.

And eggs- back in the bird flu time ( a couple years ago) they took all our eggs. No questions about the truck.

Never... hardside and F250 at the time.

No issues with weigh but usually pulled over for secondary questions when coming back into the states. Mostly questions about fruit/veggies/meat/alcohol. Never had to open the truck or camper.

Guns, raw eggs, fruit, veggies. No questions about weight. Great place to visit. Have a MasterCard and health certificates for any pets.

I was NewFundland/Labrador as was stopped by the local sheriff, he wanted Informatin on where to get a FWC!

Just bring some Tillamook cheese and we will let you in without any issues at all. As a bonus we will send you home with some real Cheezies.

Not to be chauvinist, but who needs Tillamook when we've got Armstrong Extra Old Cheddar?

 

[Vic Harder]

had both. i vote Tillamook

 

[Wandering Sagebrush]

Living close to Tillamook, I have to agree.

Pet papers, as in rabies vaccine, any other vaccines or licenses I'm spacing at the moment?

Going from Canada-US my parents were busted with a trunk full of Red River Cereal. Mom had a habit.

LOL!

Had both, too. I'll stick with Armstrong. De gustibus non est etc...

No comparison. I cross the border on a monthly basis to pick up my brick of Tillamook Extra-Aged White Cheddar. Nothing Armstrong makes can even come close to comparing to it. In fact, as a lover of all things cheese, I'd say the Tillamook Extra-Aged White Cheddar is awfully close to being on par with some of the fancy (and very expensive) aged Cheddars we get here from Quebec.

I remember buying, from a local cheese shop, an extra sharp white cheddar from Canada that was excellent. They called it Canadian Rat Trap Cheddar.. Alas, that cheese shop went under & I don’t know the name of the cheese maker. Wish I could find that cheese again.

I cross the BC border often with my camper. Never had a question about the camper. I've been asked twice for the dogs "passport" but after fumbling in the glove compartment to find it (I do have it) I've been waved thru. My vet said the papers need to be signed by the vet not just on the vet letterhead.
