“None of the rules appear in Customs written requirements.”
I imagine if they just pay the $500 annual boating fee to the agent it would be a lot easier than all of those forms and permits. Oddly, the fee isn’t in the requirements either.

Sorry, you are Canadian so border enforcement applies to you. Get a Mexican crew and all will be forgiven.
Bears gotta eat too.
I heard that a few times when I was in Alaska several decades ago. Once by a State Cop too, kind of eye opening in the right circumstances.
I don’t fear laws so much, but regulations and bureaucrat regulators scare the crap out of me.
The last time I went through that border crossing from Canada into Skagway (1987), the U.S. Customs officer at that time was one of the biggest a-holes I have ever run across. Sounds like the tradition is in place.
Yukon boat owners are frustrated with lack of clarity by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in Alaska. Despite many of their boats being registered in Alaska, they are being told their boats are foreign vessels. This message was relayed from Skagway Port of Entry Director Mary Nagy at one of two meetings held in May.
the only thing that has been made clear to them is the penalties they will face if they break Alaska Border Protection’s demands.
The RUSH did contact Nagy, but referred us to Border Protection who has yet to return our call seeking comment.
