1. At the airport
-
Hello!
-
Hi!
-
Do you know which channel to go
through?
-
No, let’s ask a customs officer.
-
Excuse me, could you tell me which
channel to go through?
-
If you have got anything to
declare you go through the red channel, if you haven’t got anything to declare
you go through the green channel.
-
How do I know if I have anything
to declare?
-
Are you staying in Britain
for more than six months?
-
No
-
Well, the amount of goods you can
bring in without paying duty depends on where you bought them. You can have 200
cigarettes, one litre of spirits, two litres of wine and presents worth 28
pounds if you bought them in the Duty Free Shop or on the plane or in the
country not in EEC.
-
Oh
-
If you bought them in EEC country
you can have 300 cigarettes, one and a half litres of spirits, four litres of
wine and presents worth under 120 pounds.
-
Oh
-
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.
-
That’s right. You can go through
the green channel.
-
I’ve only got 200 cigarettes and a
litre of whisky that I bought on the plane. But I’ve got a camera that costs
200 pounds. I bought it in Italy. It’s a present for a friend of my father’s.
-
Then you must go through the red
channel.
-
Thank you.
-
Shall we meet at the Airport shop?
-
Sure.
-
Have you got any spirits, wine or
tobacco in excess of the Duty Free allowance?
-
No, I’ve only got this bottle of
whisky and these cigarettes.
-
That’s all right. Have you got any
presents that you intend to leave in Britain?
-
Yes, I’ve got this camera. It
costs 200 pounds.
-
Have you got a receipt for this
camera?
-
Yes, here it is.
-
Thank you. If you wait a minute
I’ll tell you how much duty you have to pay on it.
-
Thank you.
Giving information about yourself.
-
Good morning, sir. Can I have your
name?
-
My name is John Williams.
W-I-L-L-I-A-M-S.
-
And where do you live?
-
I live in New York, in the USA.
-
How long are you staying in Britain?
-
About a month.
-
And where will you be staying?
-
I’m staying in London, but I don’t
have a hotel yet.
-
And the purpose of your visit?
-
I’m here on vacation.
-
OK, Mr Williams. Enjoy your stay.
-
Thank you.
