T&T: US Customs Entry Decal

[Dale Klahn]

Last year we entered back into the US from Canada after spending 10 days
or so and had to purchase the decal at the customs location at time of
re-entry.
 
There wasn't much of a delay.  After the customs officers boarded the
boat and got comfortable in the aft deck chairs and finished their
stories about their day, I loaned them a pen so they could fill out
their paperwork which took maybe 10 or 15 minutes and then they were on
their way.
 
I received the sticker several weeks later in the mail with all the
boat information incorrectly typed on the document that accompanied it
and I promptly filed in the shreader or something, I don't remember.

As usual, I have procrastinated long enough to create a problem for
myself.
I have read that I will need a US Customs Re-entry decal for my boat
(35')
upon returning to the US from Canada.  Is this decal available locally
(at
the various ports of entry) or should(?) / must(?) it be acquired by
mail?
We have passports, so that should not be an issue.  This decal (TAX)
seems
to be a minor annoyance.  Is it any more than that?  Will waiting to
acquire
the decal locally, if possible, cause any major/minor delays or other
issues?  If the local acquisition really causes a problem I can order
it and
have it delivered to a marina in route if necessary.

Thanks again,
