The Raymond POE is located at the Canadian-US border north of the city of Raymond, Montana. The POE is a federally owned facility managed by the GSA. The primary tenant of the POE is the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Due to settling, inadequate subgrade, and erosion of the drive surfaces there was ponding in the asphalt between the non-commercial inspection building and the commercial inspection building.
