CBP proposes advance traveler information for cross-border rail travel

U.S. Customs and Border Protection proposed a rule that would require rail carriers to transmit advance electronic traveler information to CBP for passengers and crew arriving in or departing from the United States by train. Rail carriers would also transmit advance notice of train arrivals or departures. This is a proposed rule, not a final requirement. The Federal Register lists publication on Oct. 13, 2026, document number 2026-20884, citation 91 FR 64840, and a public comment deadline of Dec. 14, 2026.
