SXM does not have pre clearance like Canada etc. GE certainly will allow you to speed through immigration and customs forms but when complete still have to flow through the final customs exit with everyone else.

The past couple times we have come through Miami, without GE, we have been in our car driving away, in around an hour from when our plane landed. (We park at Miami Fast Park, which is HIGHLY recommended). I personally don't think an hour is bad. This coming trip, we will be connecting through Miami, instead of originating there, so who knows, it may be much worse. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

Mdsmurph, most people here only fly in and out of SXM, and are rarely In Transit, so they wouldn't be familiar with the Transfer Information Desk. You'll be In Transit from AXA and can take advantage of the not-so-well-known pre-Immigration security checkpoint. It seems to be mostly used by SBH passengers.
The key is having your boarding passes in hand before you arrive at SXM. I've always been able to get a hotel or a friend to print the passes for me. If you can't do that, I've heard of, but not seen or used, a kiosk near the Transfer Desk, which can be used to print boarding passes for some airlines. It's worth a look, or asking at the Transfer Desk, if you're unable to pre-print your boarding passes.
