Customer service standards , which are our pledge to the traveler, are posted throughout Customs inspection areas. They guarantee that Customs officers will be professional and courteous to everyone, and that Customs will clear the majority of international travelers within five minutes of claiming baggage. A supervisor or Passenger Service Representative will be on hand in the Customs area to answer any Customs-related questions or concerns. If you feel that we have not lived up to our standards and you wish to lodge a written complaint, be sure your letter includes your phone number. A Customs official will contact you about your concerns within three days of receiving your letter.
