Customs Customs technology makes lake crossing easy!
The Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) videophone inspection system makes boating across Lake Erie convenient and cost effective. The INS videophone inspection system helps
facilitate international border crossing for both aliens and US citizens. By law, all US residents and aliens must report to the INS when international borders are crossed.
A videophone transmits and receives both voice and video images over standard telephone lines
and consists of a monitor, camera, and telephone. Two videophones must be in use to place and receive video telephone calls. The videophones are located at public marinas so boaters can
report to the INS. The videophones may be accessed 24 hours a day.
Each phone has two cameras: one views the face of the traveler and the other reads the
traveler´s papers and identification. This allows the INS officer to examine proof of citizenship and compare photo identification to the face of the traveler.
The following five Erie County sites have videophone technology:
If you are interested in visiting us from Canada or any other foreign port, we suggest you contact
