[1] The US Customs Service operated an office in rented space inside a small duplex storefront near Ellenburg, New York and people entering the US were expected to travel there to report for inspection.

On January 2, 2025, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced the launch of its first land preclearance operation in the United States.

This initiative is designed to enhance border security and facilitate the efficient movement of people and goods between Canada and the U.S.

It represents a significant collaboration between the two nations in securing their shared border while streamlining legitimate travel and trade.

During the two-year duration of the preclearance operation, the Covey Hill port of entry in Quebec will be temporarily closed.
