How Does the Global Entry Program Work? Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. At airports, program participants proceed to Global Entry kiosks, present their machine-readable passport or U.S. permanent resident card, place their fingertips on the scanner for fingerprint verification, and make a customs declaration. Travelers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program. While Global Entry's goal is to speed travelers through the process, members may be selected for further examination when entering the United States. New Downtown Washington, D.C.

Prohibited and Restricted Items If you plan to take your pet abroad or import one on your return, please review a copy of the CBP brochure Pets and Wildlife. You should also check with state, county and local authorities to learn if their restrictions and prohibitions on pets are stricter than federal requirements. Importing animals is closely regulated for public health reasons and also for the well-being of the animals. Cats are subject to inspection at ports of entry and may be denied entry into the United States if they have evidence of an infectious disease that can be transmitted to humans. Cats are not required to have proof of rabies vaccination for importation into the United States. All pet cats arriving in the state of Hawaii and the territory of Guam, even from the U.S. mainland, are subject to locally imposed quarantine requirements. Dogs must also be free of evidence of diseases that could be communicable to humans. These requirements apply equally to service animals such as Seeing Eye dogs.

Note that case law is considered only a "subsidiary means." For further reading: Buergenthal, Thomas and Sean D.
