Customs Question

[MadBadger]

Apologize if this is the wrong forum, I'm just hoping for some answers to a few of my questions.

I need to pick up my parents at the airport tonight. They are arriving from Mexico. Anybody have any idea about how long it takes to go through customs on the American side at a fairly large Airport (Newark)

2. rofl how long is a piece of string, ive seen it take hours to hardly any time at all

depends on how busy they are and if your parents are foreign nationals and if they completed the paperwork correctly etc..

5. Along time if they get caught with the dope...

If not, it is often less than 30 minutes.

6. Greatly depends on how many planes are landing at the same

time. If a bank of planes are scheduled to arrive, the wait could be long, especially in a big airport like that. But, they will have more customs people working to handle the crowd if that's the case.
