Port Lansing

Port Lansing is mid-Michigan’s only US Port of Entry that allows for goods and passengers to clear customs through the US Customs & Border Protection.

What this means for the public and business community is these significant functions can be performed locally without having to travel to congested metro hubs like Detroit and Chicago.  International travel, importing and exporting can now be done with businesses, customs brokers, freight forwarders, and logistics coordinators, located here in the Greater Lansing region - supporting companies and jobs here in our area.  A fully operational U.S. Customs & Border Protection Federal Inspection Station (FIS) is available to allow for processing of international general aviation, corporate aviation and air freight. 

With a CSX rail-line adjacent to airport property, Port Lansing is convenient for transporting and storing rail freight, along with air-cargo and freight that may arrive through traditional trucking.  And with the recent designation of Foreign Trade Zone No. 275, international businesses have the potential to defer, reduce, or eliminate duties, improving cash flow and operational efficiencies.  Port Lansing is an emerging Global Logistics Center with the necessary infrastructure and resources available to give your company a competitive advantage in today's global economy.

International lines of business will become common in the Greater Lansing area as a result of this new development direction. The Airport has over 100 acres available for immediate development for international businesses, and up to 825 acres for future development.
