The airport of entry into the US would be New York in this case. There are 3 major airports in the New York region, JFK, EWR and LGA. Your flight most certainly arrives at JFK airport. You will have to go through immigration at JFK airport. It is always the first port of entry. You will claim your luggage, go through customs clearance and drop your luggage at a counter once you have passed through immigration. Hope this helps.

Ok ive bought a guitar from the US and im waiting for it to be delivered to me (I live in Australia) How long is it going to take for a customs clearance?? Ive been waiting for about 8 days for my guitar now.. I went with DHL (delivery people) and they usually have your shipment arrive within 1-2 days.. So whats taking so long?
I don’t have a tracking number.. The dealer i bought it off said he would email it to me as soon as the custom forms clear. it’s a $2000 item

the clearance time depends on the value and if there is any duty/tariff (taxes) due. when you track your shipment, what does it say?

Hi, I am in Ontario, Canada ,

I am just wandering if anyone has heard of my dream job/position being available anywhere?

I am looking for a Law Clerk position at at Freight Forwarder / Customs Broker ????

Is there such a dream job?

Know of which companies hire International Law / Canadian Law Law Clerk ?

Thank you sooooo much for your answers …!!!

Large freight forwarding companies would have this type of position – Maersk, CEVA, DHL for example, but the jobs will be few and far between. Anyway, apply to a few and see what happens. I guess you would need to be living near one of their centres.

I am first time to board on a international flight for frankfurt, i want to know step by step the procedure from airport gate to boarding on flight including check-in, checked luggage and hand luggage permissible weight, immigration, customs clearance, security check, amount in INR and euro or travellers checqe carring etc and at frankfurt airport – deboarding, immigration, customs and secuirity. Thank you.

Congratulations on your first international flight.

1. You will need to present your e-ticket and passport to the airport security guard at the entrance. On verifying, the guard will let you in to the terminal.

2. You will then need to go to the airline counter you are flying on to Frankfurt.

3. At the airline counter, you will need "check in" which means you will need to present your e-ticket, passport and your bag that you plan to book. The weight of the bag to be booked must be up to 20 kgs. That is the permissable weight for Economy class travellers.

4. After completing the "check in" process, you will need to fill an Immigration Form, which is easily available at the international airport help desks. The form is very basic so don’t worry. It asks you for your name, address, flight number etc.

5. After filling the form, you will need to proceed to Customs/Immigration where your identity will be verified once again, your travel visa for Germany checked and your passport will be stamped.

6. After Customs/Immigration, you will need to undergo Security Check where you will need to get your hand baggage scanned. The weight of your hand baggage must be up to 7 kgs. In addition, you can also carry a laptop bag or ladies purse as an extra item.

7. After security check, you can proceed to your boarding gate for your flight.

8. Once you arrive in Frankfurt, you will need to undergo Customs/Immigration clearance again, which is similar to what you underwent in India.

9. After Customs/Immigration, you will need to proceed to the Baggage Claim area where you will find the bag that you had booked.

As far as currency goes, you are permitted to carry up to US$ 5000 as per the Govt. of India rules. This translates to approximately Euros 3600.

There are in fact some places where you would clear customs before departure to the US. Several airports in Canada as well as some Caribbean airports (Montreal, Nassau, and Bermuda to name a few).

The procedure is the same whether you clear customs before departure or after arrival. It is still US Customs agents that process you. You and your luggage will also be screened as usual. Sometimes before customs and sometimes after.

I will be flying a husky mix and Catahoula mix to Italy from San Francisco and welcome any recommendations for airlines, pet transport services, customs clearance tips etc.

KLM is the best for transporting animals, in my view.

It’s been a long time since I flew dogs commercially.

Only fly when the weather is cool, as the cargo area is usually only air conditioned in-flight. (Many airlines won’t even book pet passengers in the summer, no matter where you’re flying.)

Look online, or check with your local Italian consulate, for entry documents for the dogs. If it’s anything like other European countries, you’ll likely need a certificate of health signed by a veterinarian within 10 days of your trip (your vet. will know what this is), and a rabies vaccination at least 3 months before, but not more than 1-3 years prior to your flight.

Based on your breed descriptions, both dogs should be okay with the maximum size requirements. (For most airlines, that’s a max. 34" high crate, and max. 140lbs for both crate and dog.) (I have Danes, so it’s impossible to fly adult Danes as per the guidelines for commerncial airlines. They have to fly on a cargo plane or, if he/she is really, really lucky, a Dane owner might get an exception made.)

Personally, I’d never leave anyone alone with my dog, so that pretty much precludes flying commercially (you couldn’t pay me to trust a baggage handler alone with my dog). And while arranging a charter flight is the next best option for travel on the same continent, it’s not really feasible for trips to Europe. If you do decide to use some sort of pet transport company, thoroughly screen them, and ask for references from people who’ve flown their pets a similar route with that company. (You wouldn’t want your pets being the guinea pigs for that company’s first foray into Italy.)

It would be preferable for you to fly WITH your pets. Make sure it’s a non-stop flight (if possible), or a stop-over, at worst. Avoid connecting flights like the plague, as your dogs could easily get re-routed, and then they’re screwed. Personally take the dogs somewhere outside the airport for their last potty break, and arrive as close to your departure time as you’re allowed. (That’s usually 2 hrs prior to int’l flights, but the airline can give you a more precise time.) (whispering…the cut off is actually more like 45 min’s before departure)

Keep an eye on your dogs’ crates as much as possible.

Make them really noticeable. One frequent flyer suggests putting crazy stickers all over the crate, to make it really recognizable, out there on the tarmac, so you can watch your dogs from the time they’re brought out, to the time they go in the hold.

Another trick is to put a bungee around the whole crate (horizontally) and looped through the wires of the door, to discourage nosey workers. Many, many of the dogs that escape (of which some are never found or have to be killed because they ran out on the runway) can be traced back to airport employees who just couldn’t resist the urge to open the cage door and pet the dog. A complicated-ly attached bungee will discourage them, while not entirely precluding access into the crate, such as in the case of an emergency.

And on that note, not only make sure your dogs are crate trained, but that they’re taught to remain in their crates absolutely until a command allows them to leave. A dog trained to remain in its crate until given permission to leave is LEAST likely to bolt out, should some baggage handler or flight attendant open the door for some reason.

If possible, attach instructions and contact information to the outside of the crate, in the event that the crate is misplaced. Some crates have a small pocket where a few kibbles could be stored. They all have to have a water dish, which could be filled from the outside, if the dog gets separated from the owners for some period of time. Oh, the crate has to have some kind of absorbant material on the bottom. There are modern designs of grating and wicking fabric that can minimize the possibility of a dog lying on some urine-soaked material for hours.

That’s all I can think of off the top of my head.

If you have more questions or comments, I can ‘edit’ my answer, if you like.
