CBP Adjusts Hours of Operations at Northern Border Ports of Entry

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced an adjustment in hours of operation at 38 ports of entry (POE) along the U.S. northern border. These adjustments will be implemented beginning Jan. 6, 2025, and formalize operating hours which have been in effect for more than four years at 13 POEs across the northern border.

"As a northern border state, North Dakota's 18 ports of entry play a vital role in facilitating cross-border travel and trade," said U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), co-chair of the American-Canadian Economy and Security (ACES) Caucus. "While these adjustments in ports of entry operating hours are much needed, we need to restore hours of operation at our border to pre-pandemic levels. The COVID-19 pandemic is over, and it's time the operating hours at our ports of entry reflect it."

CBP and CBSA will align hours at the following locations:

• Hannah will continue to operate from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
• Hansboro will continue to operate from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m.
• Sarles will continue to operate from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

CBP will temporarily expand its hours at the following location:

• Antler will expand its operating hours temporarily for 120 days to 9 a.m. -10 p.m.
