    They also need 72hrs to process the documents.
    For the Canada side of the border, meaning the Lacolle import office, they actually send the paperwork directly to the RIV for you, and they tell you that you should receive it in about 10 days.

    Same applies for Philipsburg (Quebec) P.S.: Highgate Springs export office (VT) opens from 8:00am to 4:00pm Monday to Friday


    For Queenston/Lewiston crossing
