Border Airport Fairness Act of 2025

S 677, the Border Airport Fairness Act of 2025, would require the President to designate qualifying airports within 30 miles of the U.S. northern or southern border as official ports of entry. These airports must be primary airports (as defined by federal law) and formally connected to a border crossing or seaport within 30 miles, meeting U.S. Customs and Border Protection's established criteria. The bill's key provision removes user fees currently applied to these airports under the 1984 Trade and Tariff Act. This change directly affects eligible border-area airports by eliminating a specific fee obligation, streamlining their status as ports of entry.
