Tips when crossing the border

  • Plan your trip and allow extra time for smooth border crossing.
  • Avoid peak travel times when possible. The peak hours are usually between 5 AM to 9 AM and 4 PM to 7 PM. During periods of heavy travel and long delays, it is important to consider alternate crossings.
  • Declare all agricultural products such as meat, fruit, vegetables, plants, etc. Agricultural products are subject to inspection and may not be permitted in the United States due to their potential to harbor insects and diseases that could harm the agricultural industry.
  • Be prepared to show proof of identity to enter the United States and Mexico (e.g. by presenting your passport and/or ID).
  • Customs officers are responsible for inspecting travelers and their belongings. This may include a person's luggage, vehicle, and registration and is intended to enforce U.S. laws as well as to protect travelers.
