The international border states are those states in the U.S. that border either the Bahamas, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, or Russia.
Thirteen states lie on the U.S.–Canada border.
The U.S. states of Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin do not share a direct geographic border with Canada.
They do, however, possess customs facilities because they border the Great Lakes, on which international commerce comes from Canada.
In addition to the states bordering on Canada and Mexico, the U.S. state of Florida shares maritime boundaries with Cuba and the Bahamas, and Alaska shares a water boundary with Russia (in addition to its land border with Canada).
