CBP Closes Alaska Port Due to Employee With COVID-19; Cargo Operations Not Affected

CBP closed the Anchorage, Alaska, federal building that houses the area port office (Port Code 3126) “possibly for 14 days” after an employee tested positive for COVID-19, CBP said in an April 3 CSMS message. The sea port and cargo operations are not affected, it said. “For the interim, any documents (Entry Summary packages, Fines, Penalties & Forfeitures (FP&F) payments, petitions etc., duty payments, etc.) that would be delivered in person or by courier to this location, are to be submitted to the Customs & Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Office at Ted Stevens International Airport.”
