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!!!

Hunter.
Will you be returning by the same route? If so, you'll go through immigration. And customs at ORD as your US Port of Entry. Be sure to leave plenty of time for that.
