Amenity:  n.

   1. Pleasantness.
   2. A thing or circumstance that is welcome and makes life a little
   easier.
   3.  Convenience.
   4.  A unit pertaining to the infrastructure of a community.

It you squint really hard, you can maybe see number 4 applying.  But the
fact that amenity=*
is usually applied in the context of number 2 or 3 makes a customs office a
bad fit.
