We'll be pulling our Keystone Springdale tt across the border from N. Dakota into SK. Understand we can't bring produce -- does anybody know what else they won't allow.
Guess I'd have the same question returning into Washington. Thanks

For previous posts try searching this forum for `border crossing' then search the results for `Canada'.

Went north through Niagra last year... Vegtables, fruit and firearms was all they asked about.... Through in minutes.
Coming back into US....... Asked a million questions, searched all compartments and closets in camper big enough to hide anything.... took about 1 hour for 2 of us to get through traveling together.

I believe both Canada and the US have websites which address border crossing questions in their entirety.

Yes as most have said make sure you have your passport to get back to the U.S. and watch the fruits and veggies. The one thing to also watch is your petfood. There are things in there the U.S.customs checks for like lamb which is not allowed and they have been known to look for that. Coming in to Canada that has never been a problem but have been checked several times heading south and seen some in the garbage bin they have confiscated.

Concerning the lamb, would that be lamb in canned moist dog food, or does it include dry dog food?
General question. Why would the Feds be hot and bothered by lamb meat in dog food?

I have no idea why on the lamb but as long as your food is made in the USA it is no problem. We always check the labels or buy it when we are south. The customs guys always read the labels when thwy check pet food and that is what they are checking for. One of the customs officers told me people miss that one a lot of the time. Everyone is aware of fruits and veggies but get caught on pet food.

Handguns are a no go. They will make sure you are very clear on that.
