Information About Clearing Customs in Bermuda Compliments of Bermuda Department of Tourism
On Arrival: On entering the Bermuda International Airport Arrivals Hall, follow the signs directing Visitors and Non-Residents to the Immigration Desks. Screens around the hall display reminders of which documents you need to present at the Immigration Desk.
Step 1... Immigration Desk: All documents should be completed, and signed where indicated, BEFORE you reach the Immigration Desk. Make sure you have the following in hand:
Bermuda Immigration Passenger Forms* – one for each adult and child
A Bermuda Customs Declaration Form* – one for each family
Your Airline Tickets – as proof of return or onward flights
A Valid Passport* – the preferred ID for Bermuda – one for each adult and child. Before you leave this area, a coloured Customs Card will be given to you.
Step 2... Baggage Claim Area: Once through Immigration, proceed straight to the Baggage Claim area. Look for your Flight number above the carousels, or listen for announcements. When you have collected your luggage, proceed towards the exit. You will be greeted by a Customs Officer who will check your bags, take the coloured card, and send you through the Exit or on to the Customs Hall for a baggage check.
On Departure: Recommended check-in at the Bermuda International Airport is 2 hours before departure time - head straight to your airline's Check-in Counter. You will need your airline tickets, the completed departure portion “Form B” of the “Government of Bermuda Immigration Passenger Form” and passport/personal identification (for those passengers travelling to the U.S. a completed and signed United States Customs – Declaration Form, CF 6059B). After check-in, passengers visiting or returning to the U.S. may purchase items from the Duty Free Store. You may then proceed through U.S. Customs & Border Protection checks.
