Customs building. The location Is not only historic. it is safer. more practical. and more economically beneficial than the current setup. The border crossing at Sweetgrass Is congested for a number of reasons. one of them being that dutyfree transactions currently take place between vehicles on the Interstate adjacent to the prespnt port facility because the dutyfree shop is not located adjacent to the border. The fact that people are getting out of their vehicles and moving about on an Interstate to collect their dutyfree goods is a clear violation of any number of U.S. safety regulations. The historic U.S. Customs building is located on the righthand side of Interstate 15 just south of the border crossing compound. If It were the dutyfree shop. northbound travelers could egress from 115. conduct their dutyfree business and reenter north of the border beyond U.S. jurisdiction. Canadian officials have expressed interest in this arrangement. but no discussions can proceed until section I11 is waived.
