Editing Border checkpoint (section)

===Sea===
This is a list of the busiest '''seaports''' in the world, with proper customs, immigration and quarantine facilities to be deemed as '''maritime checkpoints'''. Although figures simply represent total passenger traffic, most (if not, all) of the passengers served at these ports are bound for other countries and have to pass through checkpoint (i.e. the port is not a domestic one). This list only includes ports that handle more than 4 million passengers annually.

Note:
* The four passenger ports in China, Hong Kong and Macau in this list operate services to and from each other. These passenger ports are effectively checkpoints, as they have the proper customs, immigration and quarantine facilities.
