Customs is an authority or agency in a country responsible for collecting and safeguarding customs duties and for controlling the flow of goods including animals, personal effects and hazardous items in and out of a country.

It can take as little as 20-30 minutes to clear immigration, wait for your luggage and clear customs, but can easily take an hour.or more, especially if you are pulled aside to be searched.
