TRAVELING WITH GUNS TO ALASKA
Traveling through Canada to Alaska is a beautiful experience replete with magnificent vistas and wildlife. However, Canadian Customs can be daunting. Travelers should know what to bring but more importantly, what not to bring.

WE KNOW TRANS-CANADA TRAVEL
We are located in Tok, Alaska—pronounced “Toke” – ninety miles from the border and the first community when entering the state on the Alaska Highway.
We travel out of Alaska through Canada to the lower 48 and back frequently.
We are polite and so are the customs officials (most of the time) but, we know the rules, have our answers ready, and never try to sneak anything illegal. Our last transition through Canadian customs took approximately thirty seconds and it was a pleasurable experience.
We can help make your travels easier and are happy to advise you about border crossings.
