Mojave & Marana do not have Customs according to theirs & FAA websites.

Victorville is a CBP airport meaning costs are minimal (up to $300) for clearance, you can request customs and immigration at Mojave or Marana but it will be much more expensive and more difficult to arrange. Hawaii makes sense as it takes the hassle away and requires minimal crew. With OJI already running late I would imagine crewing is becoming more of an issue with the finite resources in place.
