ATTENTION AMERICAN EXHIBITORS It is easy to cross the border. Take Exit 275 off I-5, for the Pacific Crossing. You can also use Sumas and Aldergrove. Pacific and Sumas are open 24/7.

You must also have a valid Coggins test, which is good for up to one hundred and eighty (180) days from the date it is issued. Prior to stopping at the Canadian Customs crossing, check with the American Customs office. It is suggested, not required, that at that time you leave them a list of tack and equipment in your trailer, which will make your return through the border somewhat faster. Proceed to the Canadian Customs office and have your papers checked. Returning home, go straight through to the American Customs office. It is NOT necessary to have a Veterinarian inspection if you are in Canada less than thirty (30) days. However, if you plan to be over thirty (30) days from the date the horses were checked at your farm, not crossing the border, you must have the above documents and meet the Veterinarian at the border for inspection between the hours of 8:00-10:00 AM, or 3:00-4:00 PM, Monday to Friday.
