Travelers Beware: united states customs and border protection just rolled out a new rule that will cost you money and time at the airport. Starting next week, digital declaration forms replace paper ones, but here’s the kicker—every passenger must complete theirs before reaching the kiosk, or face a $5 surcharge. Plus, baggage scanning times are doubling to “enhance security,” meaning longer lines and potential missed connecting flights. Your wallet will feel the pinch too, as duty-free allowances are slashed by 30% for electronics and luxury goods. Don’t get caught off guard; update your travel plans now or pay the price.
