CBP operates two nearby border crossings as an alternative method to facilitate cross-border traffic.

“Upgrades and modernization to our ports of entry not only streamline efficiency but provide for improved service and safety during higher volume periods,” said Jennifer De La O, Boston Director of Field Operations. “Should you have any questions please contact Port Director, Nico J.

CBP's border security mission is led at ports of entry by CBP officers from the Office of Field Operations. CBP officers screen international travelers and cargo and search for illicit narcotics, unreported currency, weapons, counterfeit consumer goods, prohibited agriculture, and other illicit products that could potentially harm the American public, U.S. businesses, and our nation’s safety and economic vitality.
