What's It Like to Go Through Immigration and Customs at LAX | LAX Immigration 

Customs and Immigration are two different things. You discussed what it's like to go through Immigration. Immigration is all about who you are and your passport. Customs is about what you are bringing into the country and is done after you get your luggage if it's done at all.

Nice video! Global entry looks like a very smooth process indeed. I read somewhere that kiosks for international visitors have been removed from some airports because the kiosks did not have the ability to properly match the person to the passport photo. Instead non-usa citizens go to a CBP counter & the camera there does match them to the passport photo. All because of a legislative requirement.

I have flown several times into LAX from England (I am English). and I think that different airlines have different terminals. Sometimes there are long lines to get to Immigration, sometimes not. Passing Immigration is usually very quick but then you have to pick up your luggage. Then the line starts again , maybe hundreds of people, inch by inch but after schlepping all that way they just wave you through anyway. A word of warning about luggage. Atlanta is our Delta Hub, and I have always checked my bags through to the end Stop. Last week I arrived on route to Savannah GA and passing the Carousel I saw my Case ! This never happened before. so do check your bags destination when checking in.

I am coming to America with US Visa and after go thru the customs and immigration. and take out the bag. Do you know if the drop off bag for Sprit Airline near by? and also Can I walk to Terminal 5 from Terminal B? Thanks

Hi from uk. Just quick question if I want to visit family in LA for week. As British passport I don’t need a visa. Do I need invitation letter to support? Or anything else you can advice. Thanks 🙏

Cool video. If I'm (American citizen with the download app) traveling with my wife who is Japanese, can she also use this process, too?

I am meeting a group of students traveling back from Japan, landing at LAX and then transferring on to Atlanta. They are new to international travel and I want to make sure that they find their way on to their domestic flight. Can I meet them once they clear passport control OR do I need to meet them after they get their bags? Where exactly can I meet them?

Do you by chance know how Global Entry Enrollment on Arrival works at LAX? Is the interview area after or before immigration?

Or what it's like as a non u.s. citizen to travel within the u.s. From lax to hawaii? A domestic flight within the U.S...

I nothing understand from this video..Could you explain me step by step what i have to do first after arrive on TBIT and how to get T3 quick as possible ?

U mean if u have Global Entry, u don’t have to fill out the customs form they give u on the plane?

Nice information for LAX customs

Did you miss the many signs in the international arrivals area that say "NO PHOTOGRAPHY" and "NO CELL PHONE USE?"

Thanks for the info… your hand movements are very distracting and I would have liked some idea of the process for non-US citizens, but you gave me some idea outside of this step.

Never, ever book an international flight combined with a domestic flight

Customs and tsa were a complete joke. Flew into this toilet four weeks ago Munich, and it was embarrassing.snotty, mean employees, poorly marked signage, trash everywhere outside the terminal, homeless vagrants outside. Avoid this airport if you can. The state is circling the drain and LA is leading the way by inept and indifferent people who don’t care about service, safety, or your ability to travel.

It’s trash
