Frequently asked questions

Is there customs clearance available at KUSW?
Boggs Field (KUSW) does not have onsite customs clearance. The nearest customs-equipped airport is Charleston (KCRW), located approximately 29.22 nautical miles away. Operators requiring customs processing should plan to route through KCRW or coordinate clearance in advance rather than expecting service at Boggs Field directly.
