Small Vessel Reporting System CBP

[Rleiby]

Anyone have a phone number to get registered and get a BR#. No response from online application submitted, other then confirmation of application received. On Lake Ontario.

Not sure what BR# is. Is it User Fee Decal and Transponder Program?

 

[Rleiby]

It is not the dtop decal program, I do have that. It is a registry that is granted to pleasure boaters from Customs and Boarder Protection to have preset information in the computer system on your passport, nexus, and boat information to make entering back in the U.S. From Canada quicker via the phone.

We tried to use it in 2014 and it totally failed due to software problems. Local customs guys were not happy with it at all. Rumor was that it was working for some east coast ports so you might be in luck.

Thanks. When I came back from Canada last week, CBP asked if I had a BR#. So it sounds they are using them.
