Does KHYW have customs clearance onsite?

This is the airport's only paved runway and sets the maximum usable paved length at the field. The runway lighting, MIRL, is pilot-activated via CTAF rather than continuously operated. There is no tower at KHYW, so all runway lighting and traffic coordination rely on CTAF procedures.
