Filing ACE for Emerson-Pembina

File ACE eManifest using CBP port code 3401 for Pembina at least one hour before arrival. Agricultural loads — particularly canola products and fertiliser — must include accurate HS codes; Pembina runs APHIS plant-health referrals with some regularity for bulk agricultural freight.

Wait pattern

Morning and late-afternoon peaks in both directions, with seasonal surges during spring seed and autumn harvest. Winter cold (-40C) can close scales for safety and will occasionally trigger brief commercial lane closures.

Worth knowing

Emerson-Pembina is the only 24/7 commercial crossing on the Manitoba-US border — the other Manitoba commercial crossings operate on reduced overnight hours, so expect winter overnight detour volume here when smaller crossings close.
