Just curious how commercial traffic from Mexico can cross boarder w/o having papers of origin of cargo or who owns the cargo. Seems like an immediate Flag. Why wouldn't US customs require this for all commercial traffic? Seems like a no brainer. Saw this on some TV series.

Not true, according to my cousin-in-law, a US Border Patrol agent.

 

Trucks crossing in both directions across either the Mexican or the Canadian border are still required to have:

 

1. Commercial invoice

2. Bill of lading

3. Any documentation evidencing compliance for restrictions or non-tariff requirements (not everything is free of tariff just because of NAFTA)

4. Proof of country of origin and country of export

5. Documentation guaranteeing payment if declared value is determined to be less than the actual value

 

For the Canada/US border, the documentation can be solely in English. For the Mexico/US border, it must be in English and Spanish.

So the invoice says who owns the cargo; therefore, if the cargo is illegal do they prosecute them? What happens if the invoice is bogus? Thank you.
