Reading 1
Task 2 . Read and translate the text to learn about some customs
formalities for passengers. Pay special attention to the meaning of the
words in bold:
Russia like almost all countries has certain formalities through
which passengers must pass. They include passport and visa control
and customs inspection of passengers’ baggage.
Almost all countries have forms that the passenger must fill in.
Incoming passengers fill in an entry declaration form, outgoing
passengers fill in an exit declaration form which is to be presented
to the customs officer. The points of the declaration must be
answered in full words in block letters. The passenger is to fill in his
full name, citizenship, country of residence, country of destination,
etc. The passenger must also declare prohibited, restricted and
dutiable articles that he is carrying across the border. Information
must be presented both in figures and in words. Personal belongings
are brought in and taken out duty free and need not be declared.
154
If the passenger understates the value of an article or
misrepresents the article in his declaration form, he may have to
pay a penalty in addition to payment of duty. The article can be
detained and confiscated if the penalty is not paid. If in doubt about
the value of an article, the passenger should declare it and then ask
the customs officer for assistance in valuing it.
Undeclared foreign currency in cash found during the search
is liable to confiscation as smuggling.
The customs officer may ask the passenger to open his baggage
for inspection, because the customs officer always has the right to
check if the passenger is complying with the regulations and that he is
not transporting goods exceeding the quantities for which no
formalities are required. The owner of the baggage must answer all the
questions of the officer-in-chargeon the contents of his baggage and
must present any article for examination. It is the passenger’s
responsibility to unpack, open and repack his belongings.
The entry declaration must be kept by the passenger for the
duration of the stay in the country or
abroad and must be presented
together with the exit declaration on the way back. It can’t be
renewed in case of loss.

Task 12. Read and translate the text to find out about one
interesting case connected with the Customs:
PRIZED VIOLIN GROUNDED
BY RED TAPE*
Just like Michael Jackson, who once tried to take a Cossak saber
out of Russia, U.S. violinist Ernesto Farago ran up against Russia’s
peculiar laws on antiques when he tried to take his musical instrument
out of the country.
Mr. Farago’s 1940 Italian violin was detained by customs
officials at Sheremetyevo airport on the suspicion that he was trying
to smuggle it out of Russia.
The incident seems to have been the result of misunderstanding.
Mr. Farago, speaking from his home in Springfield, Virginia,
said that he failed to declare his instrument, worth $28,000 because he
had been misinformed by customs officials in the arrival terminal.
“I was told by an officer that if I was bringing in the instrument
for professional purposes, there was no need for me to declare it,” said
Mr. Farago, who had visited Russia to play two concerts in Voronezh.
He has now been separated from his beloved violin for nearly
a month, but the saga should soon end happily.
The Culture Ministry received a document from U.S. confirming
that this instrument belongs to Mr. Farago and is ready to issue
permission to take the instrument out of the country. The Ministry
official in charge of the export and import of items of cultural and
historical value said that all problems could have been avoided if Mr.
Farago had declared the instrument upon his arrival.
160
It says on the customs declaration form that all valuables of a
historical and cultural nature should be declared. This is so they can be
taken out of the country again.
(from “Moscow Times”)
*red tape – official rules that seem unnecessary and prevent
things from being
done quickly and easily (syn. Bureaucracy)
