Just got this off the NBAA mail:

Customs Clearance Procedures Changing at Some General Aviation Airports

NBAA has received reports of changes to clearance procedures at some airports for international general aviation aircraft arrivals. In Los Angeles, aircraft that could normally clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection at Van Nuys, Burbank or any other airport served by the Los Angeles Customs Port must now clear customs at Los Angeles International Airport. Under similar requirements for the Dallas region, all general aviation aircraft now must clear Customs at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. At Washington Dulles Airport, general aviation aircraft passengers are bussed from FBOs to the international arrivals building for processing. NBAA recommends that operators verify Customs clearing procedures at their intended airports prior to arriving to reduce the possibility of surprises.

The information on Dallas Customs is incorrect. You can clear at any of the designated area airports
