New entry conditions for Suriname vessels
Vessels arriving from the Republic of Suriname will be subject to new conditions of entry before they can enter the United States. These steps are intended to address ports with ineffective antiterrorism measures and may require owners or operators to complete extra safety checks at the border.
No extra fees for compliance steps
The notice says owners and operators of vessels from Suriname should expect new steps at the border but will not be charged extra fees for these conditions of entry. You will still need to complete the required safety or anti‑terrorism checks, but the Coast Guard states there are no additional charges.
