Marek,
As I stated earlier, the trucker would only bring my boat across the
border (Windsor, Ont.) if I had hired a customs or 'border
broker'....the trucker put me in touch with him, he was located in St.
Stephen's, New Brunswick....I faxed him all the required paper work (he
advised me what he needed)....the trucker arrived/crossed at the border
at around 3 a.m......he said the customs officers did not climb aboard
the boat and ask to search it....he was cleared to go in less than 10
minutes. I think part of the reason for this expediency (not searching
the boat) is that the customs officers were familiar with the
trucker....he has made that crossing with boats many times.
After the boat arrived here in Halifax, the border broker e-mailed the
bill for the taxes he paid on my behalf and his fee of $130....that was
in March 2006.

Rob,
Your broker (customs broker) was cheap (mine was twice that much). But
regardless it was worth it.
