Teterboro Customs Hours of Operation and Procedures

Operators wishing to secure KTEB Landing Rights Approval outside of normal operating hours may choose to participate in the U.S. CBP Reimbursable Services Program (RSP):

  • Teterboro Customs Hours are 0700 – 0000 local time.
  • The first flight of the day for which Landing Rights will be approved is 0730, which enables officers to arrive at 0700 and prepare for such a scheduled arrival.
  • Landing Rights will not be approved beyond 2315 to enable CBP Officers to complete processing by midnight. 
  • After 2315, flights must go to an airport for which they’ve been able to secure Landing Rights Approval, e.g. KEWR.
  • To secure KTEB Landing Rights Approval between 2315 and 0730, operators can join the U.S CBP Reimbursable Services Program (RSP), which provides operator funding for after hours (over-time) support.
  • RSP provisions require that participating operators request KTEB Landing Rights Approval at least 24 hours in advance.
  • Applications to participate in RSP are processed 4 times a year.
  • Many operators who anticipate the need for such after-hours CBP support participate in RSP.

KTEB Customs Q & A – Oct 20, 2020

Q: Recently I conducted several international trips where we cleared customs at different airports, LAX and HOU. The CBP officers at each location informed us that they did not want our forms and that we should discard them. While it is not difficult to have these forms completed prior to arrival if they are no longer required by CBP it would be beneficial to not complete these since they contain sensitive individual information (Passport #, DOB, Home Address, etc,…). Do you know whether CBP at TEB and/or EWR are requiring that the passengers/crew complete these forms?

A: The Port of New York/Newark requires all international arriving passengers and crew members to present a written declaration. As CBP moves closer to using APC (Automated Passenger Control) machines at all our locations, there won’t be an need for CBP Form 6051. But until that time arrives we require all General Aviation travelers arriving at our Port’s GA facilities to have the CBP Declaration ready to present to the officers.
