The Border Airport Fairness Act of 2025 mandates the President to designate specific airports as official ports of entry and eliminate associated user fees. This aims to streamline international travel and trade at qualifying border airports. To be designated, an airport must be a primary airport located within 30 miles of the northern or southern international land border of the United States. Furthermore, it must have a formal legal association, such as a contract or ordinance, with a land border crossing or seaport also within 30 miles of the airport. Through this association, the airport must meet the numerical criteria established by U.S. Customs and Border Protection for establishing a port of entry, as outlined in specific Treasury Decisions or subsequent guidance.
