IAD 经过海关 must use high bus. Also, there are two immigration and custom offices, one for admission (the exit will lead to unsecured domestic arrival area), the other is transit (exit allows recheck baggages and own security check area) if the smaller transit CBP is open, the line is not long and 1.5 hours should be fine. But because you arrive at 10pm, it is possible the transit CBP is closed and you have to use the big hall with all the entering/ admitting passengers, that's a long line at CBP, and then use the domestic TSA check points with all the domestic passeangers, in that case you probably will miss the connection.

Thank you so much for the extended explanation. My parents will arrive at IAD at 7:55pm if on time. And their scheduled departure flight from IAD is 9 :57pm. They only have carry on, no check in bags. Do you think they can make it? Is the other custom admission site still open? Thanks again in advance for your reply!

Because you have not admitted to USA yet, before you pass immigrations and customs, you can only go where they allow you go in every USA international arriving airport. After you enter USA passing CBP and carry-on bag check by TSA, you can take the train to any terminal. 9 make advance if the CBP in terminal C is open, no problem, because most passengers arrive but not transit, and they will be bus-ed to the big CBP hall near the outside terminal(next to road traffic, parking lots, bus stops,...) But for transit, you can walk(or be bused, depending on whether UA 777 docks in terminal C already) and wait in line with transit passengers, the exit of that smaller CBP will place you in terminal C. You can take the train if your connection is in another terminal. If you will use the main CBP at outside terminal, after long lines, you will exit to the domestic baggage claim area, go upstairs and pass the TSA check point, then take trains to the terminal.
Thank you, ch12, for the further clarification. It all makes sense now.

父母从国内来,需要在 IAD 机场晚上10点从C登机处转到A6D,中间有一个半小时,不 知时间是否充足。并问是否有人行道,或机场大巴,或小火车?网上的机场地图看不出 来怎样才能从C到A。 请有经过的指点。谢谢先。

Hi, my mom has the similar situation. Does the small CBP in terminal C is still open at 8pm when your parents arrived? Thank you so much.

My last entry in big CBP hall was very fast around 7pm in mid Dec, 2014. There are many auto scan machines to reduce the line now.

看得愈发糊涂了,从中国过来的飞机转美国国内航班到底是怎样一个程序? 我的理解是: IAD机场到达C terminal -> c terminal 过海关 -> c terminal 拿行李 ->随大流做 bus去main terminal ->找下一个航班登机口???
