Question about Switch Health self LAMP test for travel

I've used these tests before, but have a specific question. Testing has been reinstated for short trips under 72 hrs, and rules state that our tests must be taken in "country other than Canada" but, I have an upcoming 48-hr trip to the US and wondering (I know this is asking for opinions only) if there's any reason I can't take my Switch Health self test while I'm still at home in Canada. That way I can travel in peace. There's really no way for them to know where I'm taking the test, and no indication on the paperwork showing results.

Thanks!

The pdf does not show the location of collection but it does show the time.

If they want to be picky then they can tell you took it in Canada.

Personally I would be taking it with me.

Just a warning (cross posted). These RT-LAMP tests have a failure rate, and Switch health won't refund. They just say the "specimen" - which they monitored me taking - was damaged when it fails. I'm issuing a chargeback, but they don't stand by their refund policy on the RT-LAMP tests that are defective and don't work.
