Canadian/US border

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

We don;t have Duty-Free here now except between the UK and the Channel Islands. Jersey prices used to be cheaper than the mainland but now they're higher! Cigarettes are much cheaper on the ferry than back home!

I have only been to the US once, in August 1989, and we landed in Orlando. We had to wait to go through to passport control but we had the necessary visas even though they were not required by then.

I suppose I have this crazy idea that to go from Windsor to Detroit you just go almost straight through. Now the Dept of HS are saying that you need to give 72 hours' notice of entering and exiting the US. On TV a Canadian got into trouble because three/four months previously he had not given the necessary notice when leaving to go back home. For us in the UK I gather that you have to give an online notice 72 hours before flying over.
