Benefits to "Port" Status

  • Ports of entry are responsible for processing conveyances, passengers and goods entering and exiting the United States and enforcing customs laws.
  • Goods may be entered for consumption, for warehousing at the port of arrival, or transported in-bond to another port of entry and entered there under the same conditions as the port of arrival.
  • Port Lansing serves an area 90 miles in any direction from Capital City Airport.
  • Companies can ship from any foreign location directly to the Port, and can in-bond ship direct from any port thus eliminating time delays that could occur at another port.
