Border Airport Fairness Act of 2023

S 222, the Border Airport Fairness Act of 2023, designates specific airports near the U.S. northern and southern borders as official ports of entry. It directly affects primary airports located within 30 miles of the international land border that are formally linked to a border crossing or seaport meeting U.S. Customs criteria. The bill requires the President to formally designate these airports as ports of entry and eliminates user fees for them under the 1984 Trade and Tariff Act. This policy change removes a financial barrier for travelers and airlines using these border-area airports.
