how long does it take to cross customs on a saturday morning

I will be arriving on a saturday morning at 9.10 I will be taken a shuttle to get to my hotel, we will be using bluvan.

Since they will be picking us up at T3 without any prior calls, its a company that has been having positive input.

My question is that if i put at 11 pick up time for the shuttle would i have enought time to go through custum since I arrive at 9.10.

the other choice from that compagny is 11.15

thank you very much answers

WE arrived in Paris on a Saturday March 17th at 1030 am and it took maybe 25 minutes to get from the plane, through passport control, pick up our luggage and past customs. Customs was a group of Police sharply eyeing everyone who walked by. A few were being pulled out, but most just went through and out into the lobby. The longest bit was getting from the plane to passport control as several planes arrived at the same time and the series of revolving doors are monitored letting a group through at a time.

there is always a certain ambiguity -- the plane may be late, the lines may be longer than usual, you might (but probably won%26#39;t) be pulled aside for luggage checks and thus one builds in lots of time

but if I were getting in at 9:10, I would probably be at my hotel by the time you were just getting on the shuttle -- I would have taken the RER and metro -- or if a larger group, just gotten a taxi and gotten on with it

why book something that won%26#39;t be ready when you are?

Customs isn%26#39;t an issue - you won%26#39;t even see them.

The problem will be immigration, which is always a scrum rather than nice organised queues, and actually waiting for your luggage (something I have never done myself, but when i have met people at CDG seems to take a number of lifetimes).

I would suggest either is fine, but if you select the later time you will have more time to get cash, etc.
