Small Boats Enter U.S. From Canada Without Inspection
“Approximately 68,000 operators of small pleasure boats enter the United States from Canada each year, along the Northern border, without being inspected by U.S. authorities,” reports Government Security News. “Pleasure boats that weigh less than five tons are allowed to report their arrival telephonically, rather than appearing in person for an inspection by a Customs and Border Protection officer.”
