Know that you must report to the Canada Border Services Agency, even though you are just re-fueling.

The minimum fine for failing to report is $1,000, and it may also affect your immigration admissibility and ability to re-enter Canada in the future.

Report at any designated Marine Reporting Sites or at the CBSA Telephone Reporting Centre.
