| Caldwell TravAlert - 9/15/09 - A new "trusted traveler" program |
September 15, 2009A new "trusted traveler" program designed to expedite clearance.... Caldwell Travel is pleased to inform you of a new pilot program, managed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, called Global Entry Program, which allows pre-approved, low-risk travelers expedited clearance upon arrival into the United States. Although this program is intended for “frequent travelers” who make several international trips per year, there is no minimum number of trips an applicant must make in order to qualify. Participants may enter the United States by utilizing automated kiosks located at the following airports: Boston The process requires participants to present their machine-readable U.S. passport or permanent resident card, submit their fingerprints for biometric verification, and make a customs declaration at the kiosk’s touch-screen. Upon successful completion of the Global Entry process at the kiosk, the traveler is issued a transaction receipt and directed to baggage claim and the exit, unless chosen for a selective or random secondary referral. The Global Entry program will allow cleared travelers to bypass the traditional passport control line, eliminate filling out a paper customs declaration form, and cross the border with a minimum of customs and immigration questioning. The non-refundable fee for this program is $100.
