- Global Entry, a two-year pilot program run by the U.S. Customs and Border Control, helps you breeze through arrival security check points, eliminating the dreaded customs line that typically weaves itself around international arrivals terminals. For $100 and after a government background check and round of finger printing, U.S. citizens and permanent residents can skip the line and go through customs at Global Entry kiosks that take an average of 40 seconds to clear. Hoping to make the program a permanent feature by the end of the year, U.S. Customs says Global Entry helps separate out low-risk travelers allowing them to focus more resources on those travelers who might be considered a risk.
