Returning to the US  -  Bahamas vacation rentals

 
After 9/11, it became more difficult and complicated to clear customs when returning to the US from the Bahamas. Boaters used to be able to go to the Bahamas for the day and would not need to clear Customs in the Bahamas nor when returning to the US. Nowadays, the scrutiny is much higher with homeland security, Coast Guards and other law enforcement authorities making sure that Miami’s waters and air are safe.

All boats should clear US Customs when returning to the US in Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Requirements are tougher for non US residents they will need to clear Customs in a general aviation facility or in a port facility for which you will find a contact list hereunder. We strongly suggest clearing Customs in Aviation facilities when returning to the US. It is definitely easier and less time consuming.
 



US residents can make an appointment at one of the ports of entry before they leave, appear in person and pre-register. Upon returning to the US from a nice trip in the Bahamas, preregistered US residents can then call the office where they pre-registered and the clear US Customs over the phone.
