When I arrive to orlando to fly out, since it is an international flight, will i go through customs in orlando? Or will I go through customs in Chicago, since that is the airport before i leave the country? If i do go through customs in Chicago, will my 1:30 hr layover be long enough for me to get through customs? Then when I get to japan, will there be an international terminal? and will 2:15 hrs be enough time to go through customs if there isn't?
Thank you for the help!!!

Welcome to FlyerTalk. Are you traveling on a US passport? You do not need to go through customs when you leave a US airport. So no customs in Orlando or Chicago. You will arrive into the International Terminal at NRT. You will go through security there to transfer to your TPE flight, but again not customs.
