19 C.F.R. Subpart B—Classes of Airports
Title 19 - Customs Duties
(a) Procedure. International airports, as defined in §122.1(e), will be designated after due investigation to establish that sufficient need exists in any port to justify such designation and to determine the airport best suited for such purpose. In each case, a specific airport will be chosen. International airports will be publicly owned, unless circumstances require otherwise (b) Withdrawal of designation. The designation as an international airport may be withdrawn for any of the following reasons: (1) The amount of business clearing through the airport does not justify maintenance of inspection equipment and personnel; (2) Proper facilities are not provided or maintained by the airport; (3) The rules and regulations of the Federal Government are not followed; or (4) Some other location would be more useful. (c) Providing office space to the Federal Government. Each international airport shall provide, without cost to the Federal Government, proper office and other space for the sole use of Federal officials working at the airport. A suitable paved loading area shall be supplied by each airport at a place convenient to the office space. The loading area shall be kept for the use of aircraft entering or clearing through the airport. (a) Entry, clearance and charges. International airports are open to all aircraft for entry and clearance at no charge by Customs. However, charges may be assessed by the airport for commercial or private use of the airport. (b) Servicing of aircraft. When an aircraft enters or clears through an international airport, it shall be promptly serviced by airport personnel solely on the basis of order of arrival or readiness for departure. Servicing charges imposed by the airport operators shall not be greater than the schedule of charges in effect at the airport in question. (c) FAA rules; denial of permission to land. Federal Aviation Administration rules. International airports shall follow and enforce any requirements for airport operations, including airport rules, that are set out by the Federal Aviation Administration in 14 CFR part 91. In addition, except in the case of an emergency or forced landing (see §122.35), permission to land at an international airport may be denied if advance electronic information for incoming foreign cargo aboard the aircraft has not been received as provided in §122.48a. (d) Additional requirements. Additional requirements may be put into effect at a particular airport as the needs of the Customs port served by the airport demand.
