In a previous article, "Doug" said:
US airport that has Customs. But do I need the phone number of each
specific US Customs Office? Surely there must be a central number?
Let me put it this way: If US Customs set up a central number, they'd
make it a 800 number that you couldn't dial from outside the country.
I remember the first time coming back from Canada calling the numbers
listed for my home airport (Rochester NY) in the AOPA airport directory,
and all of them were either unanswered on the weekend or, in the case of
800 numbers, uncallable from Canada. That was a fun hour trying to find a
number that worked and was answered and where the person who answered
could tell me who I was really supposed to call. (Turns out that you're
supposed to call the Peace Bridge customs station in Buffalo NY).
