San Ysidro is the busiest land border crossing in the Western Hemisphere, located in San Diego, California, directly adjacent to Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. It processes millions of pedestrian and vehicle crossings annually and handles significant volumes of commercial trade, including consumer goods, electronics, and manufactured products from maquiladora operations. CBP maintains a large operational presence here to manage both passenger and cargo inspection.

While San Ysidro handles some commercial traffic, most heavy commercial truck freight between San Diego and Tijuana is directed to the Otay Mesa port of entry (code 2506), which has dedicated commercial vehicle infrastructure and inspection facilities.
Wait times at San Ysidro vary significantly by time of day and season, often ranging from 30 minutes to several hours. CBP publishes real-time wait time data, and SENTRI lane enrollment can expedite crossings for pre-approved travelers.
Shipments entering through San Ysidro are subject to standard CBP import regulations, USMCA preferential tariff treatment for qualifying goods, and FDA oversight for food and pharmaceutical products originating from Mexico.
