Global Entry at San Pedro? Any special lines for porters?

Are they using Global Entry yet at the port in San Pedro? I haven't seen anyone mention it, so I suspect not, but thought I'd ask.

Also, in some ports, the porters have their own special line to get you through Customs/Immigration. Is this the case in San Pedro?

Thanks for any info!

Ft Lauderdale is the only port with currently operational GE.

No special porter line. CBP is before luggage collection.

Both Immigration and Customs? Usually Immigration is before, Customs is after baggage collection.

Our customs forms have always been collected at the Passport Control window in San Pedro. Same for Long Beach for at least 5 years.

Same at the Miami cruise terminal. Passport control is after luggage pick up and they collect the form.

In San Pedro we do CBP before we pick up the luggage.

Just to clarify. Passport Control collects your custom form before you have your luggage? What happens if you are declaring something?

I do not remember from last time at San Pedro, but I will find out this year. I never declare anything, so no big deal.

That was my point. What if you are delaring something, the inspector wants to see it, it is in your checked bag, and you haven't collected your bag yet.

That is why Customs is usually after bag claim. Passport check (Immigration) is usually before. And many people confuse the process.

I appreciate the replies to my inquiry; thanks!

I also agree that it sounds bizarre to go through Customs *before* you pick up your luggage; the whole point is for them to be able to search your belongings if they want to.

was there in November. Customs is before you pick up your luggage.

I guess if there is a problem then maybe there is a secondary area for checking luggage.

Just back from San Pedro.

The CBP was not in place upstairs in their permanent counters. They moved to temporary booths near the exit after luggage pick up. There were three dual

lines, went relatively quickly.
