As an international traveler arriving at Dulles International Airport, I want to understand the general customs and immigration procedures, and identify any expedited screening options available. Specifically, what is the primary screening authority, what happens if I have a connecting flight, and what are the names of the expedited screening programs?
Navigate to 'flydulles.com'. Click on the 'Travel Information' dropdown. Click on the 'Customs & Immigration' link. Identify the primary screening authority for international arrivals. Determine the procedure for international passengers with connecting flights. Identify the names of the expedited customs screening programs.
State that all arriving international passengers (with exceptions for pre-cleared points) must be screened by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). State that passengers connecting to another flight will need to re-check their luggage and go through screening by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Identify 'Global Entry' and 'Mobile Passport' as the expedited customs screening programs.
