The short answer
The registry records U.S. Customs Global Entry Application Fee as a possible interpretation of US CUSTOMS* GLOBAL ENTRY. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
What do the parts of US CUSTOMS* GLOBAL ENTRY mean?

The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Why it shows up like this
Unreviewed registry note: The charge posts to your card statement immediately upon submitting an initial enrollment application or membership renewal through the federal portal at ttp.dhs.gov via the government payment processor Pay.gov. The fee is currently $100 to $120 per applicant and is assessed regardless of whether your application ultimately receives approval. Because families often complete applications for multiple travelers at once, you might see several consecutive identical charges if parents submit separate enrollment files for their children or spouses.
Common reasons for this charge
- Unreviewed registry note: You submitted an initial application or 5-year renewal for Global Entry on ttp.dhs.gov.
- Unreviewed registry note: You applied for Global Entry on behalf of a minor child or family member.
- Unreviewed registry note: An authorized cardholder submitted a Trusted Traveler Program application.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention

Unreviewed registry note: Be aware of fraudulent lookalike websites charging extra broker fees. Always verify that payments go directly to Pay.gov or ttp.dhs.gov.
How can I verify that my payment was received by CBP?
Unreviewed registry note: Check your application dashboard on ttp.dhs.gov. If your application status shows 'Pending Review', your payment was successfully processed.
What should I do if charged by an unofficial intermediary?
Unreviewed registry note: If an unauthorized third-party broker charged fees without providing legitimate government processing, report the charge to your bank.
