Port of Houston Extends Hours

Over a year in the planning,  the Port of Houston Authority has agreed along with U. S. Customs , to extend the Port hours to 18:00 -- effective  November 17th.  This extra hour is a major accomplishment for the  international trade community.

This extension of hours will be a TEST for 6 months while the program is evaluated.  Trucks will be able to enter until 6 pm,  but must be out of the port before 7 pm.  Standard gate operations will be in place.  Please note that all standard container cut-off times will not be extended.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  this change does have limitations,  for example, this extra hour is ONLY for Barbours Cut and Bay Port Terminals.  Further is is only for standard 200 foot and 40 foot containers and high cubes.  Reefers and out-of-gauge cargo are excluded.
