Much faster. Customs can be fun. For a while Canada and the US was having a pissing contest over the salmon fishery and it seemed to trickle down to the customs booths. I only had a problem once. I was trying to avoid a busy station by crossing back into the US at an out of the way checkpoint. They were bored and I was the only fresh meat they'd seen in a while. I had a couple of ice cube relays in my toolbox that iirc were made in Japan. Since I didn't have the necessary papers to show I'd bought them in the US they charged me duty.
