Question about the ACIs and border crossings

It’s not too bad really, they’ve actually streamlined the process quite a bit over the course of the last few years.

Of course you still need to show up at the correct crossing.

 

Unless you get paid in US funds, the fuel isn't that much cheaper. Right now in ND, diesel is about $1.12-1.15 CAD per litre ($3.20-3.25 USD per gallon).

 

Also,another point. don't arrive at the border crossing less than an hour from when the ACI is accepted by Customs. It's an $8,000 fine.

 

One hour notice required. It’s three hours for us customs.
