I heard, a couple weeks ago, about immigration changes for crossing into
the US from Canada and Mexico. These new requirements will eventually
require a passport by 2007.

Now, I hear something on the new about US Customs has eliminated the
"Call In" method of clearing into the US when arriving by boat. I'm not
sure I heard this correctly and wonder if this is just being "phased" in
or is it in effect for this summers boating season.

I also noted in this news report, that they still are requiring the $25
annual customs permit for boaters (no mention of RVers).

I would welcome an update on the customs clearance changes.

I you want to know, go to the official source. Ask the US government. Get
it in writing. Write them a letter and they will respond with a written
letter or document detailing how to clear into the USA. You can take a
look at the Immigration and Customs web sites.
