Smart Border Declaration

The Smart Border Declaration is a binational agreement signed on December 12, 2001, between the United States and Canada. The agreement aimed to continually improve border security, information sharing, infrastructure protection, and law enforcement co-operation between the two nations. Many of the innovations that have become common worldwide were pioneered with the Smart Border initiative, including cargo and passenger preclearance, the NEXUS trusted traveller program, and joint policing missions on cross-border threats.
