Limestone, Maine – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) reminds travelers that the hours of operation at Limestone port of entry along the Maine/New Brunswick border will change on January 6, 2019. The new hours of operation are daily from 6 a.m. - 6 p.m. Eastern (7 a.m. – 7 p.m. Atlantic).
Following a review of traffic and operations, CBP decided to adjust the hours of operation at the port to better align services and resources. This slight reduction of hours will also allow CBP to better allocate resources to nearby locations in Maine that have a need for additional staffing during high volume time periods.
“We appreciate the community’s understanding as we align resources to best serve the traveling public,” said Port Director Christopher Doughty. “CBP continues to review its operations to ensure resources are utilized in the most efficient manner possible.”
The nearby Fort Fairfield port of entry will continue to operate 24 hours a day, seven days per week. Travelers should plan ahead and adjust travel plans according to the new hours of operation.
