Request port-clearance coordination.
Tell HYANS the arrival and departure ports, crew and passenger counts, and your last and next ports. We coordinate the clearance workflow and support your documentation; the authorities make the entry decisions.
What clearance coordination covers
A Hawaiʻi arrival involves CBP, and — depending on the vessel and last port — USDA/APHIS agricultural coordination and Coast Guard requirements. HYANS coordinates the workflow, prepares and organizes documentation, and liaises with each authority around your call.
Give us the arrival and departure ports, crew and passenger counts, your last and next ports, and whether the vessel is foreign- or US-flag. We use that to confirm what applies and what to prepare. Clearance, inspection, and entry decisions rest entirely with CBP, USDA/APHIS, and the Coast Guard — HYANS coordinates and supports, and does not guarantee approvals.
For the full documentation picture, see the Hawaiʻi Yacht Clearance Guide and Documents Required.

After you send this request
- We review and confirm scope
Your request opens your email app with the details filled in and sends them to HYANS. We read them, confirm the scope, and come back with any questions.
- We map the coordination
We identify the harbors, authorities, and vendors involved and outline how HYANS will coordinate the call. Where an item depends on availability, authorities, or weather, we say so rather than promise it.
- We propose a plan and a single point of contact
You receive a proposed agency plan with one accountable coordinator for the call. Nothing is committed on your behalf until you confirm.
- We coordinate the clearance workflow
Once you confirm, HYANS liaises with CBP, USDA/APHIS, and the Coast Guard as applicable, helps organize your documentation, and keeps you informed. The authorities make the clearance and entry decisions; we support and coordinate the process.
