Hallo!

Tell me please - is it correct to say "It's not customary for us or here" or "It's not conventional for us or here"?
Thank you!
 
The two words are normally used for things that are done in the usual or accepted way.
They are not just used for people or places which you sentences refer to. They do not make sense.
 
It means that it is something which is not according to traditions or habits of the place or group of people etc.
How to say then?
 
Thank you, tedmc. Then they can be used as "It's not customary here. It's not conventional here". Right?
 
It is not customary to do so here.
 
Say:
It is customary/not customary to do something at a place.
It is customary/not customary for certain people to do something.
