Text 2 Таможенные правила ввоза и вывоза
Предметы личного пользования таможенной пошлиной в США не облагаются, но продукты питания, особенно скоропортящиеся запрещены к ввозу в США. Американские таможенники не пропустят на свою территорию ни цветов, ни фруктов.
Разрешены к провозу:
1-м взрослым путешественником – 10 пачек сигарет или 50 сигар, или 2 кг табака; 1, 1 л спиртного; подарки общей стоимостью $ 100.
Если в багаже нет ничего, что может привлечь внимание таможенников, можно воспользоваться «зеленым коридором» - NOTHING TO DECLARE. Тем не менее, заполненную декларацию все равно придется сдать таможенным властям.
Ввозить в США наличными деньгами, дорожными чеками и расчетными карточками можно любые суммы. Декларировать требуется лишь суммы более $10, 000. На борту самолета путешествующие вносят в формуляр сведения о своих персональных данных: цели его приезда, предполагаемое место жительства в США.
Task 8. Translate the following from Russian into English and use the appropriate grammar forms:
1. Я не знаю, что разрешается провозить беспошлинно.
2. Вы не превысили норму. Оплате пошлиной эти вещи не подлежат.
3. Он не знал, что на эти предметы распространяются таможенные ограничения.
4. При переезде через границу вы обязаны сообщить об имеющейся у вас на руках иностранной валюте.
5. Они попросили, как можно скорее осмотреть их багаж. Их самолет вылетает через час.
Task 9. Read the tips to air-travelers. Translate the text and answer the following questions:
Of what rules have you already heard?
What information is new to you?
Text 3 Tips for Travelers
In accordance with international safety regulations, passengers must not carry weapons (guns, knives, daggers, swords or any similar implements) in their carry-on luggage or on their persons. Dangerous items, such as explosives, liquid, compressed or poisonous gases, flammable liquids and easily ignited or self-igniting solids, are not allowed in either checked or carry-on baggage. Books of matches, which ignite easily, are not permitted.
Since electronic devices can interfere with the safe operation of the aircraft. The federal law prohibits the use of mobile phones on planes.
Alcohol consumed at high altitudes can have a stronger effect than usual. Passengers are not permitted to consume alcohol they have brought with them or purchase on board.
One piece of hand baggage weighing not more than eight kilos per passenger is allowed on board. Two pieces are usually permitted in First and Business Class.
Once you travel plans are confirmed, check the expiration date of your passport. It’s also a good idea to make photocopies of the data page; leave one copy with someone at home and keep another with you, separated from your passport.
If you loose your passport, promptly call the nearest embassy or consulate and the local police; having a copy of the data page can speed replacement. You need only a valid passport to enter Great Britain for stays of up to 90 days.
When shopping, keep receipts for all of your purchases. Upon reentering the country, be ready to show customs officials what you’ve bought. If you feel a duty is incorrect, appeal the assessment. If you object to the way your clearance was handled, get the inspector’s badge number.
In either case, first ask to see a supervisor, and then write to the port director at the address listed on your receipt. Send a copy of the receipt and other appropriate documentation. If you still don’t get satisfaction you can take your case in customs headquarters.
Task 10. Put these words in the correct order to form sentences:
1. a/ must/ not/ ticket/ travel/ without/ you.
2. a/ need/ the/ to USA/ visa/ you.
3. at/ check/ check-in-desk/ in/ luggage/ must/ the/ you/ your.
4. at/ check-in-desk/ don’t/ have/ passport/ show/ the/ to/ you/ your.
Step 3
Talking points
Task 11. What do you think would happen if:
A passenger carries an ancient sword?
A passenger carries fire works?
A passenger carries a bottle of coca-cola?
A passenger lost his/her passport during the travelling?
Task 12. Work in a team (of three or four).
Imagine, that one of you is a customs officer and others are travelers. Give the instructions about the possible difficulties in the international airport and the ways out of them. Travellers should ask as many questions as possible.
