  • Have birth certificate for each child in your vehicle when traveling by car.
  • If traveling with children, who are not a part of your family, have a note or proof that the child has permission to cross the border with you.
  • Turn off radios and cellular phones when talking to border agents.
  • Declare all fruits, vegetables, plants and plant products, animals, birds, eggs, meat, and meat products.
  • Declare all items acquired for personal use.
  • Resident aliens must carry residency cards at all times.
  • Dogs and cats must be free of any diseases communicable to humans. Dogs older than three months must have proof of a rabies vaccination.
