less than an hour connection at LAX to SFO, originating in Toronto

Upvote:3

US border preclearance in Toronto is performed by US Customs officers in the terminal of departure and all formal US entry procedures will happen there. Once cleared, your luggage and yourself are effectively domestic passengers and will deplane in LAX at a domestic gate. There are US Customs preclearance facilities in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 3. There is no need to claim your bags in LAX, they will have cleared customs in Toronto and will be checked through to SFO. Pearson says be at the airport 3 hours before departure for morning flight, and as long as you make it to the airport on time, you'll be fine.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_border_preclearance American Airlines asked for this service to be established in 1952 in Toronto.
