Practical
Office: 29 Kuhio Street, Hilo (coordinate approximate, placed by the harbor on Kuhio Street; not map-verified). Phone +1 808-935-5049; hours 8 am to 3 pm Hawaii time, Sunday through Saturday; email portofhilo@cbp.dhs.gov. Initial arrival from a foreign port: report through the CBP ROAM app. Crew and passengers holding US visas are not eligible for ROAM and must be inspected in person - arrange by email. Vessels holding a cruising license arriving on the east side of the island report by email; CBP acknowledges and authorizes leaving the vessel during business hours. Get CBP clearance before anyone leaves the boat - CBP cites a $5,000 fine. Vessels arriving from another US state check in with the Hawaii Department of Agriculture ((808) 832-0566 per Noodle's Notes). Pets follow Hawaii's animal quarantine rules.
