Shannon U.S. Customs Pre-Clearance – Extended hours coming soon
Summary
Since July 2017, the use of Mobile Equipment was introduced in Shannon by USCBP which allows for clearances to take place on board the aircraft. If a passenger has an ESTA, rather than a visa, but the aircraft is not on the approved list of signatory carriers, the passenger will be denied entry to the U.S. For more information see our article entitled, “Operating Under the Visa Waiver Program: Top FAQs from Business Aviation Operators.“ Clearance process at EINN is the same as for CBP clearances stateside, and you must adhere to the same regulations. In the unlikely event that USCBP require the baggage to be offloaded and inspected at their facility, It’s best to prominently ID each bag with visible tags and ensure that the traveler’s name is clearly printed on them. Operators may now leave APUs running – thereby allowing all aircraft systems to remain ready for a no-delay departure – but only if the APU intake/exhaust is at least eight feet above ground. It’s important to remember that you must continue to one of the approved U.S. mainland airports after the EINN U.S. pre-clearance has been completed as alternatively CBP clearance will need to be repeated at an AOE.
