Anacortes is a US port of entry and one of the three places CBP sends boaters to clear in person when the ROAM app cannot be used. The office is in town near Cap Sante Marina.

Practical

Coordinate is the OSM customs point. CBP Anacortes: 1019 Q Avenue, Suite F, 360-293-2331. Call before you arrive for instructions on where to tie up. US arrival: report with the CBP ROAM app. Set up your profiles and trip ahead of time, start the arrival report only after you cross into US waters, and expect a short video call. Boats 30 ft and longer need a current CBP user-fee decal. If ROAM fails, clear in person at Friday Harbor (360-378-2080), Anacortes (360-293-2331) or Point Roberts; NEXUS and I-68 holders may phone 1-800-562-5943. In 2023 in-person clearing ran 8 am to 8 pm from mid-May to mid-September and 8 am to 5 pm otherwise, arriving at least 30 minutes before closing; confirm current hours.
