US Airport Fact Sheets (CBP)

Did you know there are such things as US Customs & Border Protection Airport General Aviation Fact Sheets?

Opening Hours
Contact Info
Permission To Land Procedures
Some blurb on what to expect for the Inspection Process

What do they look like?

CBP update these Fact Sheets fairly regularly, so if you’re heading somewhere and want the most up-to-date version, contact CBP at that specific airport and ask for the latest copy. It’s also nice to speak to them in person! Tell them about your planned flight, and they’ll tell you what you need to know.

You can email CBP at the address shown in the Fact Sheet, or else contact them at GASupport@cbp.dhs.gov
