US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Codes – Port of Entry Stamp

When you travel to the US and arrive at a US Port of Entry(PoE) location, you would go through the US port of entry procedures.  Most of the time, you may fill out an I-94 form,  or sometimes, you may go through Automated Control Process (APC) Kiosks and after that be interviewed by a CBP Officer. 

The CBP officer after the short interaction or interview will put a stamp on your passport. If you look closely, the stamp will have a 3 letter code on it on the top, that indicates the port of entry location or border checkpoint of the US that you used to enter America. 

Many may wonder what are these Port of Entry Abbreviations or CBP Codes. Below are a few samples of the US CBP Stamp and their codes highlighted. Also, you can check out the complete list of CBP codes below.

CBP Pilot program – No Physical Ink Stamps in Passport

CBP started a pilot program in August 2022 called the ‘Simplified Arrival Program’, where they no longer put in any physical ink stamp in passports when someone arrives at the US port of entry. The plan is going forward, CBP wants to eliminate stamping passports with physical stamps. You will not see the CBP codes stamped on the passport if such is the case. These would be captured as part of the US Travel History and users can check the I-94 Official Website
