Whenever you enter the US, you are required to fill out Form 6059B, which asks for your personal details and whether or not you're bringing in any restricted goods. Whenever you are entering the UK, you are required to fill out a landing card and passengers entering Canada fill out an E311 Declaration Card. As far as I can tell the immigration officers usually completely ignore whatever details you wrote in those forms and simply scan your passport to enter your details into their computer. It therefore looks like a complete waste of time, as the majority of passengers have no goods to declare anyway and therefore the immigration forms get thrown away right after you get your passport stamp.

So what's the point of these forms/declarations? Why require absolutely everyone to fill them out? As a bonus question explain why car passengers are spared from this obligation and are instead asked verbally if they have something to declare.

My understanding is that the forms primarily exist for two purposes:

  1. For tracking. This is increasingly obsolete as records become digital, and while bureaucracy moves slowly, some of these forms are disappearing: eg. the US paper I-94 is long gone and Australia no longer has departure cards.
  2. For making it easier to charge you with crime. For example, if you bring in drugs and state on your declaration form that you're not bringing in drugs, that's two offences right there, and it's apparently often easier to charge you with the bureaucratic violation than the actual contraband. (See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marihuana_Tax_Act_of_1937)

I do agree that the forms often seem pointless in practice: yesterday I dutifully declared I was bringing a meat product to the US, twice at that (Customs paper form and ESTA machine), and nobody even bothered to ask me what it was (jerky), much less inspect it..

In the UK, there are situations where the landing card is recorded - a so-called coded landing. This happens when, above the date stamp, you get a 'custom' rectangular stamp with the landing card number on it rather than the plain-text 6-month stamp.

This happens when there's been suspicions about a person they nevertheless chose to land, and always happens when a visa national is admitted for visa-free landside transit (until 23:59 the next day) as well as when a non-visa national is admitted for visa-free study for up to 6 months (short-term study).

As for the US, either the customs form or the APC/Global entry receipt has to be collected by the customs officer (for what purpose, I do not know) - hence the need to fill that one out.

American citizens need a current passport to enter the UK, although no minimum validity is required.(Photo: us passport image by Albert Lozano from Fotolia.com )

Have your passport handy to enter the United Kingdom via a commercial flight into any of the international airports in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. American citizens must show a passport that is valid on the date of entry. Although there is no minimum validity period required beyond that date, it is highly recommended that passports be valid past the intended date of return to the United States.

Valid Passports

When booking a trip to the U.K., ensure that your passport is valid beyond the date of arrival. When booking outbound and return flights, take care to use an identical first, last and middle name as it appears on a current passport. Double check the middle initials as well to ensure consistency, which can avoid questions or delays at check in. Ensure that children also have their own passports.

Airline Ticketing

Decide on departure and arrival dates and whether a few days' flexibility is possible for potentially better pricing. To complete a flight booking online, by telephone or at a travel agent, each passenger should have a current passport, credit card with expiration date and its three- or four-digit security code, a nine-digit Known Traveler Number (if applicable) plus any airline loyalty membership numbers. Expect to complete a roundtrip booking rather than a one-way flight for a maximum stay of six months. When the transaction is complete, an email is issued to indicate the booking confirmation number. Keep this number for any itinerary changes and for flight check-in.

Airline Check-In

Passengers normally receive an email 24 hours before scheduled departure to indicate that online check-in is open. Print or save the boarding pass on a smartphone. Alternatively, use a self-service check-in kiosk to produce a boarding pass by entering the confirmation number and scanning a passport. Otherwise, provide a passport at a staffed airline check-in counter. Once the boarding pass is issued, display it with a passport at security control prior to entering the departure hall. One or both documents may be asked for again at the gate or upon embarkation.

Landing Cards

Non-EU transatlantic visitors are required to fill in a white landing card distributed by all airline carriers prior to touchdown. The card requires personal identification details, an address in the U.K., purpose of trip, items being brought into the U.K., and a signature to be submitted to Border Control together with a passport. Anyone who fails to get a landing card inflight will find one on desks near customs. In 2017, the Home Office announced the possible elimination of the landing cards, in use since 1971. A replacement digitalized program is being designed to minimize cost and cut back on waiting times that affect more than 16 million non-European visitors to the U.K. annually.

Boarding Cards

Following a flight, a printed boarding card should be disposed of with care and not left in the seat back pocket. Nor should it be photographed and shared via social media. To the trained eye, a boarding card is filled with a good deal of personal information that could be used in identity theft as well as the dates you're traveling and where.
