OTHER IMPORTANT DETAILS REGARDING USA CUSTOMS:
This year has seen many new changes take place in the travel industry, most notably the extra security checks when crossing into the USA. Many tour companies have seen a few clients turned away at airports and border crossings going into the USA. Out of date and improper identification or past criminal convictions on their records have caused them to be refused entry into the USA. The USA Security Customs Department will never discuss with us as a second party why they turn people away, so it becomes your responsibility to make sure you have the proper information with you.
No Tour Company can be held responsible for the USA security actions and if turned away you will lose all monies paid for your trip and will have to make your own arrangements to return home. If you have any concerns about your ability to gain entry into the USA, you may go to your nearest border crossing and ask the USA Customs to check your identification.
Special Notice Regarding Marijuana Legalization and International Travel- Motor Coach Canada
On October 17th, 2018 the Canadian federal government legalized cannabis in Canada. While employers
continue to ramp up drug and alcohol policies for managing personnel, there remains growing concern
from the group travel industry regarding the customer’s knowledge and awareness of cannabis
regulations, particularly when crossing the Canada-US border.
While cannabis will be legal in Canada, it remains an illegal substance at the federal level in the United
States. What this means to Canadians is that under no circumstances can an individual attempt to cross
the border with cannabis or cannabis containing products. Even if crossing from Canada into a US state
where cannabis is legal, or decriminalized, it is still illegal to cross the border with cannabis. In fact,
attempting to cross the border with cannabis can lead to lifetime ban from entering the US, along with
serious criminal penalties. Previous use of cannabis can also result in the same inadmissible designation.
This holds true even for those with prescription-use marijuana. Any involvement in the legal cannabis
industry in Canada, including being a “shareholder”, can also deem a person inadmissible for life. Once
deemed inadmissible, the only option to seek admissibility to the US, in the future, is to apply for
waivers which can be costly and time consuming.
Canada also will continue to prohibit the importation of cannabis, so those entering Canada, including
Canadian citizens with or without a prescription, are not legally able to bring cannabis with them and
attempting to do so may result in serious criminal penalties.
Failing to declare cannabis products when you enter Canada, or the US can result in enforcement action,
including arrest and prosecution.
