U.S. Customs and Border Protection

Bermuda provides border preclearance for passengers bound for the United States. This means that you will be screened by a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer before departure, and will not have to submit to any other formalities when arriving in the United States.

You must have all the required documentation, including a valid passport. Note also that you cannot take certain products, such as fruit from other countries, into the United States.

NEXUS and Global Entry members enjoy access to an express line through security checkpoints and in the U.S. border preclearance area, where they can use Automated Border Control kiosks.

In all cases, CBP officers are empowered to request a secondary inspection. You will be directed to an adjoining room; if necessary, your checked luggage will be recalled.
