Smith: Well, I suppose we'd better get ready for landing and we'll soon have to go through the
customs. I say, you haven't got anything dutiable, have you? If you have, you'd better declare it. You
don't want to get into trouble, do you?
Brown: As a matter of fact, I don't have anything to declare. Still, thanks all the same.
II.
GOING THROUGH CUSTOMS AT THE AIRPORT
Daniela: Hello!
John: Hi!
Daniela: Do you know which channel to go through?
John: No. Let's ask a customs officer.
Daniela: Excuse me. Could you tell me which channel to go through?
Officer: If you've got anything to declare you go through the red channel. If you haven't got anything
to declare you go through the green channel.
Daniela: How do I know if I have anything to declare?
Officer: Are you staying in Britain for more than six months?
Daniela: No.
Officer: Well, the amount of goods you can bring in without paying duty depends on where you
bought them. You can have two hundred cigarettes, one litre of spirits, two litres of wine and presents
worth twenty-eight pounds if you bought them in a country not in the EEC³. If you bought them in an
EEC country you can have three hundred cigarettes, one and a half litres of spirits, four litres of wine
and presents worth a hundred and twenty pounds.
John: Right. I have one and a half litres of brandy and three litres of wine that I bought in Italy. I don't
have any presents. That means I don't have anything to declare.
Officer: That's right.
Daniela: I've only got two hundred cigarettes and a litre of whisky that I bought on the plane, but I've
got a camera that I bought in Italy that cost two hundred pounds. It's a present for a friend of my
father's.
Officer: Then you must go through the red channel.
Daniela: Thank you. (to John) Shall we meet at the airport shop?
John: Sure.
Daniela goes to the red channel.
Officer: Have you got any spirits, wine or tobacco in excess of the duty-free allowance?
Daniela: No, I've got this bottle of whisky and these cigarettes.
Officer: That's all right. Have you got any presents that you intend to leave in Britain?
Daniela: Yes, I've got this camera - it cost two hundred pounds. I bought it in Italy.
Officer: Have you got a receipt for the camera?
Daniela: Yes. Here it is.
Officer: Thank you. If you wait a minute, I'll tell you how much duty you have to pay on it.
Daniela: Thank you.
