Guide to Crossing the US Canada Border

Easton / River de Chute

Easton – River de Chute Centreville Border Crossing – Ladner Road / Smugglers Road

This is a lightly used border crossing with limited hours. The road is blocked with locked gates when the border crossing is closed. The Trans-Canada Highway passes near the Canadian side of the border. The U.S. port handles about 4,000 crossings per year. Summer is the busiest time of the year, but even then U.S. Customs handles only about 450 vehicles per month between June and September.

Before heading to the border, be sure to review our pages on preparing for customs and prohibited items.
