Heavy haulers don’t just operate within the borders of the United States. They are often asked to transport machinery and equipment across international borders into Canada and Mexico. Custom territories are the land and waterways of the US where the sovereign borders lie. These areas are subject to the laws of the foreign country if you travel across these borders and outside the US. In the US, these territories include ports, airports, and states where US borders touch another country.
Why are they important?
Customs territories are subject to different rules, regulations and laws, depending on the country to which the heavy carrier is traveling. Heavy haulers will need special permits to cross the border outside the US to deliver their cargo. Without these permits, a heavy load of transport will sit on the sidelines until the proper documentation is acquired. The same goes for heavy carriers looking to enter the US
WE. territories
The US has several territories under its jurisdiction whose land mass is not physically attached to the US. It is important for people to know if their equipment or machinery will have to travel part of their journey via ocean vessel and if the area is a US territory or under the jurisdiction of another government.
