This is a list of border crossings along the CanadaâÂÂUnited States border, ordered from west to east (north to south for Alaska crossings). Several crossings are along major highways. Some crossings in remote areas are unstaffed; among those, some require travelers to report to border officials at another location, and some may not have any reporting requirement at all.
On the U.S. side, the Department of State assigns a three-letter Port of Entry code to each crossing. This code is included on the passport entry stamp or parole stamp one receives when crossing into the U.S. One code may correspond to multiple crossings.
Port of entry hours of service for road crossings, except where noted, are open year-round during the day.
This is a list of roads that cross the U.S.âÂÂCanada border that do not have border inspection services, but where travelers are legally allowed to cross the border in one or both directions.
In prior years, there were dozens of such roads where one could legally cross the border and then proceed to an open Customs office to report for inspection, but most have since been barricaded. Current requirements for reporting to CBSA or CBP for inspection are noted.
Many former uncontrolled roads that served as points of entry along the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Swanton Sector were barricaded/closed in the mid-1970s in securing the 1976 Montreal Summer Olympics. These included Clinton, Franklin and St. Lawrence counties in upstate New York, and in Franklin, Orleans and Essex counties in Vermont.
This list is of point-to-point international ferry services, including those for road vehicles, passengers, and rail. Other marine ports of entry are not included.
This list includes only those crossings known to have had customs or immigration services at the border, but are now inactive. They are listed in order from west to east. Roads that are unattended, but otherwise still functioning, are listed in the Unstaffed road crossings section.
