Trucking: New Inspections U.S. Canada Border Crossings
Filed in archive Doing Business In USA by Greg Balanko-Dickson on June 03, 2007

Calling Canada a potential conduit for bioterrorism, pests and disease, the U.S. government is boosting its northern border inspection muscle - and making Canadian commercial shippers foot the bill. Via Globe and MailI can say that in Hawaiian airports they are very diligent in screening agricultural products.
Now Canadian trucks and railway cars will pay $5.25 per commercial truck per entry (or $105 a year), and $7.75 per railway car to have the U.S. government inspect their trucks and loads for bio-terrorism, pests and disease.
I say it is a good thing if it keeps all us safer and protects the environment.
