Is KHON a towered airport?

Traffic coordination relies on CTAF, including activation of runway lighting systems such as HIRL, MALSR, REIL, MIRL, and PAPI units, which operate on preset low intensity from sunset to 2200 local and can be adjusted to higher intensity or activated outside that window using CTAF. Pilots unable to reach the flight service station on the common frequency can contact Minneapolis ARTCC instead.

Huron Regional Airport, KHON, offers both 100LL avgas and Jet A fuel. The field is attended daily from 0700 until sunset.

No fuel supplier information is published in the airport data.
Does KHON have customs clearance on site?
