Zayed International Airport (AUH) is proud to host one of the few United States Customs and Border Protection (USCBP) Pre-Clearance facilities in the world.
This unique service allows passengers travelling to the United States to complete all necessary US immigration, customs, and agriculture inspections before boarding their flight in Abu Dhabi. Upon arrival in the US, passengers bypass the standard inspection queues and proceed directly to their connecting flight or final destination, saving significant time and effort.
The US CBP Pre-Clearance facility is located [NEED LOCATION] and is clearly signposted. Please allow additional time to complete this process, as it is mandatory for all passengers on US-bound flights.
