Ports of entry are official places where people or goods enter a country. They are located at airports, seaports, and land border crossings. Governments use these places to control and record arrivals.

Travelers show passports and documents, while goods are checked by customs officials. Major international airports such as Heathrow in London or border crossings between countries act as ports of entry. These locations handle large numbers of people and cargo each day.

Ports of entry are recorded in government systems and databases. They are important in tracking travel, trade, and migration.
