Limited Commercial Vehicle Access at the Pacific Highway Port of Entry

Release Date
Wed, 06/01/2011

Blaine, Wash. - U.S. Customs and Border Protection is announcing the temporary closure of one of three commercial vehicle entry lanes at the Pacific Highway Port of Entry.

Temporary closure of this lane is due to an oil spill caused by a leaking tanker truck. Clean up operations are currently on going and normal entry operations are expected to resume this afternoon.

The Pacific Highway Port of Entry continues to operate two commercial entry lanes but importers are advised to allow for an increased wait time and to plan accordingly.

The importing community is reminded that commercial entries bound for the United States may be directed to the Sumas Port of Entry via British Columbia Highway 11.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.
