CBP aligns hours of operation at ports of entry

U.S. Customs and Border Protection, in collaboration with Canada Border Services Agency, will adjust hours of operation at ports of entry in Montana beginning at midnight on Jan. 6, 2025.

This will allow CBP to enhance border security while facilitating legitimate cross-border trade and travel. CBP officers will be deployed to busier ports of entry, enabling the agency to use its resources most effectively for its critical national security and border security missions.

These adjustments have been made in close coordination with CBSA to ensure aligned operational hours that further the security of both countries.

CBP continually monitors operations, traffic patterns and volume, and analyzes the best use of resources to better serve the traveling public. CBP will remain engaged with local and regional stakeholders, as well as communities to ensure consistent communication and to address concerns.
