U.S. Fentanyl Seizures by Border Location

Over the weekend, President Trump imposed (and paused, in some cases) tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico and China, citing a national emergency to stop fentanyl trafficking. While some fentanyl is seized along the northern border and at coastal/interior ports of entry (think major airports and seaports), 88% of fentanyl is seized at official ports of entry along the US-Mexico border.
