Niagara Falls and the US Border
Niagara Falls is one of Canada's busiest commercial border zones — the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge carries billions in cross-border freight annually, connecting Ontario manufacturers and exporters directly to the US market. For businesses shipping goods across the border, ISPM-15 certified wooden crating is a legal requirement, not an option. US Customs and Border Protection enforce it strictly: non-compliant wood packaging is turned away, quarantined, or destroyed at the crossing.
At Argos Crating, all export crates are built with certified heat-treated lumber, and we supply the documentation your freight forwarder or customs broker needs. For Niagara Falls exporters, that means no delays, no rejections, and no surprises at the border.
