Green channel or green lane?
Do the terms "green channel" and "green lane" (when used at an airport) mean the same? Are they just different names in different countries for corridors for passengers having nothing to declare?

Well, a "green lane" can refer to a small road ("lane") in the countryside with many trees and/or other greenery on either side of it.

@TrevorD Or, more particularly, a lane which has never been 'metalled' in any way. That is one the surface of which is either grass or mud.

Thank you. However, with regards to an airport, how do you call a corridor/exit at an airport for passengers who have nothing to declare?

Different countries, airports, ports, etc. will call them different thinks! Yes, they are just different names for the same thing - not even necessarily in different countries. It's quite possible that one airport may call them 'channels' and another airport in the same country may call them 'lanes'.
