Counsel Posted April 4, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Hello All, We are sailing the Valor out of SJU next January - my question is: Since Puerto Rico is a US territory, do we have to go thru US Customs on the way back? If so, where? At the airport in SJU, or when we arrive in Atlanta - we only have a 1 hour layover to get to our next flight to Detroit. Those of you who have done the Victory/Valor out of SJU - any tips? Thanks! Bruce aka Counsel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shof515 Posted April 4, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 4, 2013 since the ships sails in/between international waters, you will need to be processed by customs when you debark the ship just like any another cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce aka Counsel Hello, per United Airlines (who I am flying into San Juan next month), you do not go through customs in the airport, since this is a US Territory. You will just show your license as if you were flying to Florida. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwcruiselover Posted April 4, 2013 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Puerto Rico is part of the United States, and the San Juan airport is a U.S. airport. When you get off the ship, you go through customs/immigration, and then you're officially in the United States. No further customs checks at the San Juan airport or in Florida.

welldone60 Posted April 4, 2013 #7 Share Posted April 4, 2013 But you will need to have your bags go through the Ag inspection at the airport. This is located outside. Make sure you do this before trying to check your bags or they will send you back to the Ag inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
