Nogales Ports of Entry

According to Bureau of Transportation Statistics, 11.2 million people entered the United States border through Nogales' three Ports of Entry, as a pedestrian, bus passenger, and personal vehicle passenger for fiscal year 2017. In addition, 13,000 buses, 3.8 million personal vehicle, 649 trains with 63,000 full/empty rail containers, and 334,000 trucks with 417,000 full/empty truck containers also entered the United States through Nogales in fiscal year 2017.  
 
The Nogales ports of entry are the most busiest entry points for the state of Arizona and it's the starting point of the CANAMEX corridor which is a series of freeways and railways linking Canada to Mexico through the United States. The Arizona state budget plan for fiscal year 2020 unveiled by Gov. Doug Ducey includes $700,000 to improve infrastructure at the Mariposa Port of Entry cold inspection facility in Nogales.

Today, international commerce is of vital importance to the Nogales economy. Mexican shoppers crossing the border on a daily basis generate over 60% of Nogales’ sales tax. Nogales, Arizona and its sister city, Nogales, Sonora, are home to one of the largest cooperative manufacturing (maquiladora) clusters and the largest port of entry for Mexican produce—over four billion pounds of fruits and vegetables enter through the Mariposa Port on an annual basis.
 
Mexico is a critical partner with Arizona, with $14.1 billion in bilateral trade occurring annually. Close to 40 percent of all fresh produce consumed in the United States during the winter makes its way through the Nogales' Ports of Entry alone. Whether by car, truck or train, cross-border traffic between Arizona and Mexico is critical to the housing, tourism, trade, commerce and economic development of both regions.
