POE Tomorrow - Checklist?

[ljj 0]

So the big day is finally here, and I am finally moving tomorrow! I think I have everything ready to go, but any feedback/suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

1. I have my SEALED brown envelope

2. Passport with VISA

3. Itemized list of what is in the vehicles

4. Letter from FORD so that I can import my vehicle

Am I missing anything?

Thanks!

; I'm moving this friday, I'm glad that you opened this topic so I can peak every now and then and see if I'm missing out on something too =]

Other than that, good luck tomorrow!!

That looks pretty good.

I'm also bringing a copy of my medical file and my K1 paperwork needed for AOS but you don't need to worry about the latter!

Best of luck

Looks good. Peace Bridge POE should be painless, just a lot of waiting. Safe travels.

You've got it - they probably won;t even look at your list of contents, let alone look in the actual truck...should be painless, it's where I POE'd with a UHAUL and had no trouble at all.

PS - grab American cash so you can pay the $6 (or whatever the fee is now) at the border patrol office when they activate your K1.

oops - you're not K1 - don';t know if there's a fee

I'm pretty sure the fee is an I-94 fee, and a CR-1 entrant won't get an I-94, so I don't think there will be a fee.

Don't worry too much about US cash either way - I was a K-1 entrant so I did have a fee, but my PoE (Emerson, MB/Pembina, ND - July 2009) accepted a Canadian credit card for it, so it was no big deal.

My fiancee is making her POE at the Peace Bridge this weekend. We are importing her Silverado truck and a camping trailer also. The CBP says that we need to fill out the EPA form 3520-1 and the DOT form HS-7 to show that it meets the US standards. They also said we need to fill out the DOT form for the camping trailer.

I didn't recall seeing anyone mentioning these forms in there checklists. Does the CBP typically fill these out for you? We do have our conformance letter for the truck and the camping trailer has a label that says it meets U.S. and Canadian safety standards.

Thanks for any helpful tips you may have for us!

CR-1 does NOT pay a fee at the border. List looks good. Best of luck

I don't know for sure, but their was 1 couple who crossed in Albert that had the stickers and that was not enough for the POE officer!! But thats only 1 case!! If down the rd u do need the proper paperwork to get ur car registered (assuming POE officers dont do it correctly) One can goto the closest international airport and get it done I believe!! But dont quote me on any of that,lol Im sure it wil go fine! You could contact GMC and try and get the compliance letter. I know Nissan faxed it to me for free in a few minutes! But some manufacturers charge a fee and snail mail it!!

Yes, there is a fee of $6. I crossed at the Peace Bridge a little over 2 weeks ago

I had a 3 hour wait, but I went on a Sunday lol!

Oh...stay away from the vertical blinds! My fiance got in trouble for touching them when he was looking out the windows lol!

The fee of $6 is for k1'ers, NOT for Cr-1/IR-1'ers A cr-1/ir-1 is not going to be getting a I-94 form! 1 just walks away with an ink stamp

Thanks,

We do have the compliance letter for the truck already. I was just wondering if others filled in the EPA and DOT forms prior to arriving at the border or did the CBP fill those in for you?

I didn't realize it was for the I-94, sorry I thought it was just a fee...
