Border Airports Designated as Official Ports of Entry; User Fees Eliminated.

This law mandates the designation of specific major airports located near the US international borders (within 30 miles) as official ports of entry. This change allows these airports to handle international traffic more efficiently, facilitating travel and trade in border regions. A key consequence is the termination of user fees for using these airports as entry points, potentially reducing costs for travelers and shipping companies.
