If I'm in transit in one airport to go to another airport (different country), do I haveto go through custom and immigration again?

I plan to go to Nashville and has to touch down in London The lay over is an hour and a half. Do I have to check in, go through custom and immigration again?
I'm really concern not having sufficient time to be on the next plane.

If you STAY in airport NOPE.

Check with your airline.

I have never been in an international airport where--as long as you do not leave the transit area--you would have to go through customs again. I assume that if you left the transit lounge you would have to go through costumes to get out, and then again to get back in.

If you are having a connecting flight then there will be no need of it but if you apply for a transit then you have to go from all the process

It depends on the country. For example, the US and Canada require everyone landing to go through customs and immigration, even if they are flying to a 3rd country.
I have landed at Heathrow from out of the UK and connected to flights to other countries. I was able to do so every time without going through customs. Heathrow has a very good website that explains every step of a transfer there. This is pretty common in Europe and some other countries.

If you are changing to another international flight at Heathrow you do NOT need to go through Immigration and Customs, but you will need to go through security. So don't waste time once you disembark, get to your next boarding gate as quickly as possible.

You go through Immigration and Customs when you enter your destination country. You do not go through when you are leaving your country, and you generally do not go through when you have a layover in another country (unless that layover is in the US or Canada - everyone has to go through Immigration and Customs when landing there).

You will not have to go through immigration at Heathrow but there will be a security check.

No. You only go through Immigration and Customs when you firstt land in your destination country.
