This is a quibble, I know... but you "enter" customs when you arrive and "clear" customs when you depart. :) In one of my careers I sorta worked for the Department of State . Kinda. ENDQUOTE In my day job I used to import (non-boat-related) commercial goods into the US (that joy has disappeared for now, courtesy of the weak US-Dollar, but hopefully I will be able to do so again in a better future). Those inbound goods "entered customs" upon crossing the US border and "cleared customs" once the paperwork and the goods had been found in order, cleared to continue their inbound journey to US customer -- that's in the parlance of the USCS agents, at least. :-) Ralph *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
