Global Entry™ Passenger Customs Information
Global Entry™ -enrolled travelers may bypass the regular passport control line and proceed directly to the Global Entry™ kiosk located at the end of the inspection hall closest to the baggage claim/Customs inspection escalators. At the kiosk, the Global Entry™ traveler will activate the system by inserting his or her passport or U.S. permanent resident card into the document reader. Once the process is successfully completed, the traveler will be issued a transaction receipt which must be presented to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer as the participant leaves the CBP inspection area.
