About these numbers

CBP officers at the port estimate the wait from the end of the line to primary inspection and post it, usually hourly; the figure is for travelers entering the United States. See all border crossings for how to read each status, and CBP's own bwt.cbp.gov for alerts. Numbers baked into this page are from 23:00 UTC, October 17, 2026.
