Update Aug 2025: BOEs Move to eAPIS (No More Email Applications)<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Until now, getting a Border Overflight Exemption (BOE) was an email game. You\u2019d draft up a message to CBP with your operator details, compliance statement, and a few other bits depending on whether it was a new application, renewal, or name change.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s now changed.\u00a0CBP has shifted BOE applications and renewals into the eAPIS web portal.<\/strong>\u00a0Instead of emailing back and forth, you log in with your usual eAPIS credentials and hit the new \u201cBorder Overflight Exemption\u201d link under the manifest options.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the NBAA for this behind-the-scenes screenshot.<\/p><\/div>\n

CBP says they\u2019ll process these within 30 days or less (same as before). Commercial operators still need to add carrier bond info and confirm customs fees are current, but otherwise it\u2019s a much smoother process. If you use a handler or third-party provider, they\u2019ll continue doing it for you behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

New to BOEs?<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re arriving from the south, CBP normally requires your first landing to be at the nearest southern airport of entry. A Border Overflight Exemption lets you bypass that rule and fly straight to the airport you actually want to reach.<\/em>\u00a0More info\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

Original Story Sep 2024: BOE Guide<\/strong><\/h6>\n

Back in the days when you had to email your BOE requests to CBP and everything was way more painful, we lovingly prepared a 1-page quick-ref cribsheet<\/a> showing what to do.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But with the Aug 2025 switch to doing all your BOEing via the eAPIS website, that guide is now defunct!<\/strong> We hereby forever consign it to the great FOD bin of history!<\/p>\n
