The Greater Yuma Port Authority is the lead agency for building and planning the commercial border crossing in Arizona. The facility will be located just south of Yuma, Arizona and east of San Luis. Having been established in September, 2000, the GYPA has made great strides in making the new port a reality.

The San Luis II commercial port-of-entry will enable trucks to cross easily at either Nogales or San Luis. This will provide stability and flexibility to businesses that establish themselves near our border.

Mission Statement.

The GYPA will develop a gateway for global trade and facilitate, promote, and support multi-modal transportation and trade opportunities to enhance economic development in the Greater Yuma area.

In 1999, Arizona ranked 3rd among US states in exports to Mexico.

San Luis ranks 10th among all southwestern ports of entry in imports and exports.
