Cross only at designated crossings. While most borders are not entirely walled off, it is a good idea to officially pass into another country through areas built for this job. At train stations and airports, this is inevitable. However if you are crossing on foot, go through official check points as you may need stamps or passport validation to legally enter.

Look into what is illegal to bring into this new country. Know that you cannot transport drugs across borders, however different countries have rules about what you can and cannot bring with you. In many cases, this refers to meats and produce, as some insects travel inside these items and can infest crops.

Cooperate with guards while crossing the border. While you may have free passage rights, many other countries do not. Guards often need to sort this out and may need to take time looking at documentation and searching your property. This is done for your safety, so be courteous.
