eAPIS Information
BBP US/Mexico APIS
The above listed countries require all aircraft entering and/or departing their Countries to file an Advanced Passenger Information System Report (APIS)
If an APIS is not filed and a notice of receipt has not been received by the pilot 60 minutes prior to departure, the pilot may be subject to major fines and/or penalties.
Mexico requires that any aircraft entering Mexico have proof of liability insurance. Some US insurance policies include this insurance and some do not. If you do not have the correct insurance, your aircraft will be grounded until you can provide proof that your insurance is valid or until you purchase the required insurance.
