Just wanted to mention here that the cost to renew transponders will almost double as of December 28th this year. As of now the annual renewal is $205 usd. On December 28 this will be going up to $401.67 USD. For you freightbrokers out there who don't know what this is, it's another cost that we have in order to cross the border. Each truck that crosses the border must have one. This amount is per truck and there is no volume discount on this one...
I have copied this from the DTOPS sight:
The current $205 annual User Fee paid when ordering a commercial vehicle transponder is comprised of two fees, $100 that is retained by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and $105 that CBP collects on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) to recapture costs associated with conducting agricultural quarantine inspections (AQI) at U.S. ports of entry. On December 28, 2015, the APHIS portion of the annual User Fee will increase to $301.67. The total annual User Fee will be $401.67 per commercial vehicle.
