CBP strongly encourages the international trade community to maximize use of early morning hours, from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., since during these hours we have minimal traffic.

Please note that the daily update phone calls that had been in effect since May 22 have ceased since Friday, June 2. The need to resume such calls again to provide updates on the recovery phase will be evaluated daily. Stakeholders will be informed as soon as viable information on the initiation of repairs and estimated dates of completion are available.
