U.S. Customs and Border Protection has issued a final rule establishing the Gordie Howe International Bridge border crossing as part of the port of Detroit for customs purposes. This bridge connects Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, Canada, and is located two miles west of the Ambassador Bridge and four miles from the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel.
Ports of entry are locations where CBP officers and employees are assigned to accept entries of merchandise, clear passengers, collect duties, and enforce the various provisions of customs, immigration, agriculture, and related U.S. laws at the border.
CBP states the bridge is set to open in fiscal year 2026 but that it will notify the public via a notice on its website when the bridge is fully operational.
