A project to replace an existing primary inspection booth at the CBP Pacific Highway Cargo facility will begin on March 2, 2020, and continue through May 2020.

 

The project will require the closure of one lane during construction. CBP at Blaine will implement strategies and make every effort to mitigate delays related to the lane closure.

 

We encourage Customs Brokers, Importers, Freight Forwarders, and Carriers to monitor Border Wait Times and consider utilizing alternate Ports of Entry during intervals of heavy traffic volumes.

 

Wait Times are available at the following websites:

 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) website

https://bwt.cbp.gov

 

Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)

https://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/border/

 

British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure

If you have any questions, please contact Chief Raymond Sabie at (360) 332-2675.

 

 

Thank you,

 

Craig Hope

Assistant Area Port Director

Blaine Washington

If you want to monitor port of entry delay times you can still make reference to CBP’s Border Wait Times page.
