I have booked shuttle transport for the time we arrive at LAX which is obviously not going to work. Can someone give me an idea how long it takes to clear customs?

Clearing customs is always a joy. Depending on the day you are coming thru.. it could be as short as 2.5 hours or up to 5. If you are traveling with meds--have them all in 1 place .. But when you come out.. there are a ton of options as far as transport goes. If you are staying within a few miles.. you might be better off taking a taxi as the shuttles charge per head as opposed to the taxi that charges per ride. Of course this wouldn't be feasible if you are going say further than 10-12 miles from the airport.

It's quite possible that you will pass through customs on your way out rather than upon entering, especially if you have a direct flight.
I've never had customs take more than an hour even under the worst of circumstances.
