List of Airports Where CBP Inspection Services are Normally Available
United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations governing landing requirements and procedures for private aircraft arriving in to the United States are listed in Title 19 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 122 – Air Commerce Regulations. As defined by regulation, CBP has the authority to limit the locations where private aircraft entering the U.S. from a foreign area may land. As such, private aircraft must land at the airport designated in their APIS transmission unless instructed otherwise by CBP or changes to the airport designation are required for aircraft and/or airspace safety as directed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) flight services. In general, the first landing of a private aircraft entering the United States from a foreign area will be:
. at a designated international airport (see §122.13);
. at a landing rights airport if permission to land has been granted (see §122.14); or
. at a designated user fee airport if permission to land has been granted (see §122.15).
In all cases, permission to land – except in the case of emergency or forced landings – will be denied if the pilot of a private aircraft arriving from a foreign port or place fails to submit an electronic manifest and notice of arrival (APIS manifest) pursuant to §122.22. Below is a list of airports where CBP Inspection Services are normally available for non-precleared private aircraft arrivals. Direct coordination with the CBP airport of arrival is critical. CBP airport operations across the country have different operational hours and different operational requirements (e.g., Telephonic Notification Requirements, International Garbage Handling, Landing Rights, Overflight Exemptions, Permission to Land, etc.). Pilots should contact the CBP airport of arrival directly to better understand and confirm local operating procedures and requirements that may affect the flight.
We hope this information is helpful. If you have any questions or concerns about this airport list, please contact [email protected].
