On December 18, 2008, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Bureau of Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) issued a new rule that affects private aircraft operating on international flights.
The rule, Title 19 CFR Part 122, is titled 'Advanced Information on Private Aircraft Arriving and Departing
the United States'. Compliance with this new regulation has been voluntary since December 18, 2008,
however, compliance becomes mandatory effective May 18, 2009.
The DHS Final Rule can be viewed at: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2008/pdf/E8-26621.pdf
Beginning May 18, 2009, all general aviation flights arriving into or departing out of the U.S. Require
the pilot to electronically submit crew and passenger manifests and other flight information to the CBP
at least 60 minutes prior to departure. This information must be submitted to the CBP using their Electronic
Advance Passenger Information System (eAPIS) website or through an authorized third party vendor. This new
rule does not apply to domestic flights.
Pilots failing to meet these reporting requirements can be fined $5,000 for the first violation and $10,000 for each
subsequent violation.
Pilots are encouraged to become familiar with the CBP crew and passenger manifest reporting requirements prior to
planning any flights across the U.S. borders. More information can be found at the U.S Customs and Border
Protection website: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/pleasure_boats/private_flyers/
Pilots are also advised to register their information with the CBP eAPIS website and begin using the system now for
international flights even prior to the May 18, 2009 deadline. Information on how to register with eAPIS can be
found at: http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/inspections_carriers_facilities/apis/e_apis_information.xml
Be informed and fly safely!
