DETROIT— U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Office of Field Operations allows commercial truck carriers to prepay the single-crossing user fee online prior to arriving at the border.

Carriers and their agents can make single-crossing user fee payments online through the Decal/Transponder Online Procurement System (DTOPS) website.

“Paying the single-crossing user fee online, prior to arriving at the border may help commercial drivers reduce fuel consumption and help avoid unnecessary wait times at the border.” Said Port Director Devin Chamberlain, “this could help cut down on overall costs for carriers.”

Cash and credit card payments will still be accepted at the border, but carriers who pay upon arrival may experience additional processing delays.

To learn more about commercial truck user fee online payments for single crossings, and for annual transponder purchases, users can log on to: https://dtops.cbp.dhs.gov.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between official ports of entry. CBP is charged with securing the borders of the United States while enforcing hundreds of laws and facilitating lawful trade and travel.
