TUCSON, Ariz. – U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Office of Field Operations, Port of Naco will have new set hours of operations once travel restrictions are lifted.
In response to the “essential only” travel restrictions and the COVID-19 pandemic the Port of Naco has been operating under modified hours. Once travel restrictions are lifted, the port will remain operating from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. Travelers wishing to cross into the United States after 10:00 p.m. may use the Port of Raul H. Castro, Douglas, Arizona, located just east of the Port of Naco.
Director of Field Operations Guadalupe Ramirez recently discussed the permanent changes with Senators Sinema and McSally. He also met with local stakeholders on Friday, June 5, 2020, to announce the new set hours and to address any concerns.
The new permanent hours are based upon current and historical vehicle and pedestrian crossing data.
Travelers should plan ahead and adjust their travel according to the new set hours of operation.
