Getting your Band through the Candian Border
My bands going to Canada. We have a van and plan to bring our merch with us. We hear it’s a tough border crossing so what can I do to make it easier?

Make sure you have all your paper work in order prior to pulling up to the check point. Make sure you have every piece of equipments serial number listed on the correct forms. Have copies of all the forms you’ve filled out. Make sure you’re not drunk or stoned. Don’t try to take drugs oranything questionable into the country, the officers will find them. If you think you’ve hidden it in an amazing spot they will never find, then Lassie is going to find it. Ship your merchandise in advance to a friend or the promoter so you don’t have to worry about taxing. Rockstar attitude may be a nice novelty onstage but be polite because they already hate bands at the borders. Reason to come into the country?… tourist.
