CBP issues travel tips ahead of Memorial Day weekend

DETROIT - U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Field Operations reminds travelers planning trips across the Detroit, Port Huron, and Sault Ste. Marie land border crossings to be prepared and to anticipate possible delays during the Memorial Day holiday.  

Being prepared will help minimize delays at ports of entry.

  • Have applicable travel documents.
  • Declare all goods, alcohol, and agriculture items.
  • Report money/monetary instruments exceeding $10,000.
  • While legal in some municipalities, marijuana remains illegal under U.S. federal law. 

 

Advisories and border wait times, current documentary requirements, information on prohibited items, and more can be found at CBP.gov/travel

 

Non-U.S. travelers are encouraged to apply for their I-94 online or via the CBP Link mobile app, available on both the Apple app store and Google Play. The I-94 feature allows travelers to apply for a provisional I-94 prior to arriving at a land border crossing. Travelers who apply for their I-94 ahead of time will experience faster processing times to expedite entry. 

 

As a reminder, Visa Waiver Program travelers intending to enter the U.S. by air or land are required to obtain an approved Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) prior to seeking admission at a port of entry. To learn more about the ESTA program and eligibility requirements, travelers can log on to esta.cbp.dhs.gov
