That last post was really helpful. As Canadians I presume we just walk/ taxi to the Cand I office. Does not look like any point in calling ahead for us. Any time to try to avoid (?lunch) ?


I suspect the C&I office is continually manned throughout the day as there are numerous arriving & departing flights. We were there at lunch time and an officer was present.

I strongly suggest you call. Quoting the CBP website: https://www.cbp.gov/travel/pleasure-boats-private-flyers/pleasure-boat-locations/pr-us-vi

"What information do I need to provide when I call?
The Master of the vessel must report arrival via telephone immediately upon arrival to a designated inspection site within the jurisdiction of Puerto Rico (including Vieques and Culebra) and the US Virgin Islands. See below telephone numbers.
