Boaters: Report Your Arrival on Great Lakes

Boaters cruising near the Canadian border on the Great Lakes this summer need to know: U.S. Customs is pushing a new app, CBP ROAM, to make reporting arrivals from foreign ports easier and faster. Designed for recreational users, it lets you check in, apply for a registered boater program, and streamline crossings — though exceptions like I-94 forms or duty-bound goods still require traditional channels. Whether you prefer the app or a phone call, reporting is mandatory if you’ve been on a hovering vessel or brought in goods outside U.S. waters. With shared waterways spanning a century of agreements, staying compliant keeps things smooth — and safe — for everyone out there.
