About U.S. Customs and Border Protection

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control, and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. U.S. Customs and Border Protection is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.  For more information, visit  www.cbp.gov.

The new $5.7M complex, which was primarily funded through grant from the Florida Department of Transportation, significantly enhances airport operations, optimizes speed and efficiency, and dramatically improves service delivery; all of which will greatly benefit the corporate and recreational travelers who arrive at FXE from around the globe.

Automated Passport Control Kiosks

U.S. citizens and Canadians, as well as travelers that reside in one of the Visa Waiver Program countries, are eligible to use the APC kiosks. To use the kiosks, travelers input the same information they would enter on a Customs Declaration form into a kiosk, scan their passport and fingerprints, confirm their flight number, and take a photo. The kiosk will provide a receipt that travelers then present to a CBP officer at the check-out point. The APC kiosks will process travelers who reside at the same address together.

There is no charge to use the new kiosks and pre-registration or membership is not required; however, Visa Waiver Program travelers must have Electronic System for Travel Authorizations (ESTA) approval and have visited the U.S. after 2008.

Global Entry Kiosks

Executive Airport is the first General Aviation airport in the country selected by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP) to receive a Global Entry kiosk, which is a CBP program that allows pre-approved, low-risk travelers to expedite entrance into the United States upon arrival.

With the kiosk, pre-approved travelers no longer need to complete a customs declaration before landing and may skip process lines at checkpoints. Instead, they can simply check-in at the kiosk by scanning their passport or resident card and their fingertips for verification and completing the Customs declaration online. The kiosk will issue the traveler a transaction receipt and, if cleared, he or she can simply exit the facility, saving valuable time.
