The transponder, also known as a User Fee, is a sticker that contains a Radio-frequency identification chip (RFID technology) that transmits information about a vehicle and border crossing User Fee payment status. User Fees are valid for the calendar year only.  Applications will be forwarded to the processing center. The application will be processed, and a transponder will be mailed from the processing center.

Placement of Transponder: Before installing a transponder, thorough cleaning is recommended of the inside of the windshield surface with a high-quality glass cleaner that does not leave residue. The transponder is to be placed horizontally on the inside lower left of the truck's windshield at least 2-1/2 inches away from the metallic frame but within a band 4-1/2 inches from the bottom of the windshield and at least 3 inches from any other windshield mounted transponder. Transponders CANNOT be affixed to the wing-windows. Areas with glass curvature should be avoided.

The transponder has one side that is printed with the unique identifying alpha/numeric number. The other side of the transponder is coated with an adhesive. The transponder may be placed on the windshield, adhesive to the glass, so that the printed information is readable from the driver's position. Once applied to the windshield, the transponder is not removable. The transponder should remain on the vehicle for the life of the transponder. Any attempt to remove the transponder after application will render it inoperable. The transponder should never be placed in a vertical position or in a location where it would obstruct the vision of the driver.

Decals are stickers that are placed on all private aircraft and private vessels (30 feet or more in length) as proof that the User Fee for entry into the U.S. has been paid for the calendar year. Any arriving vessel or aircraft that does not have an annual decal is required to pay a non-refundable per arrival User Fee, and complete an application, which will be forwarded to the processing center. The application will be processed, and a decal will be mailed from the processing center.

Placement of Decals - Private Aircraft or Private Vessels: The User Fee decal for private aircraft and private vessels is to be affixed on the outside of the conveyance within 18 inches of the normal boarding area, where it is visible when doors/hatches are open. If difficulty is experienced in removing the decal backing, move your thumb repeatedly across a corner of the decal. Attempt each corner.
