[1] the Canadian station is open to commercial traffic on weekdays during business hours.

This border crossing, one mile east of the Portland-Montreal Pipe Line,[2] is in a rural setting on the east–west border between Vermont and Quebec, roughly midway between the village center of North Troy, and the crossroads village of Highwater.

Canada first established a Customs operations for this crossing in 1844, when it opened an office four miles north in the town of Potton.

The 1937 station's main building, which still stands about 150 feet (46 m) south of the current facility, is one of ten surviving 1930s station buildings in Vermont, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014 for its architecture and historic significance.

It was the first formal border station built on this site, as part of a program by the United States government to improve border security due to increases in the use the automobile for travel, illegal immigration, and smuggling occasioned by Prohibition.
