The nearest crossing on this corridor is the Peace Bridge at Fort Erie, 33 km away.
Commercial loads entering Canada need a PARS number transmitted to CBSA before arrival. Loads entering the US need a PAPS number transmitted to CBP. Missing or incorrect pre-arrival numbers are the most common cause of commercial holds.
