(from “Airport” by A.Hailey) U.S. Customs inspector Harry Standish was trying to clear up a tiresome problem. Most of the passengers, who arrived aboard a Scandinavian airline DC-8 from Copenhagen, had cleared customs and had left. Only this well-dressed American woman posed a problem insisting that all she had bought in Europe was some perfume, costume jewelry, and shoes. The total declared value was ninety dollars – ten dollars less than the free exemption she was allowed. “Madam,”- said U.S. Customs Inspector Harry Standish quietly to the naughty woman whose several suitcases were spread open on the Customs inspection table between them, “are you quite sure you don't wish to change your story?” She snapped back: “I suppose you're suggesting I should lie when I've already told you the truth.” Harry Standish ignored the second remark, as Customs officers were trained to ignore many insults they received and answered politely, “I'm not suggesting anything, madam. I merely asked if you wished to amend your statement about these items - the dresses, the sweaters and the fur coat.” The woman, whose American passport showed that she was Mrs. Harriet Du Barry Mossman, had just returned from a month in England, France, and Denmark, replied acidly, “No, I don’t. Furthermore, when my husband’s lawyer hears of that interrogation …” “Yes, madam”, Harry Standish said. “In this case, I wonder if you would mind signing this form. If you like, I’ll explain it to you.” “Why should I sign anything?” Mrs. Harriet Du Barry Mossman demanded. He answered patiently, “To make things easier for yourself, madam. We're merely asking you to confirm what you've already told us. You say the dresses were purchased…” “How many times must I tell you? They were bought in Chicago and New York before I left for Europe; so there were sweaters. The coat was a gift – purchased in the United States. I received it six months ago.” Why, Harry Standish wondered, did people do it? All the statements just made, he knew with certainty, were lies. “Suppose I refuse to sign?” “Then we shall be obliged to detain you here while we continue the investigation.” There was the brief hesitation, then, "Very well. You fill out the form. I’ll sign.” "No, madam, you fill it out. Now here, please, describe the items and alongside where you say they were obtained, please, give the name of the stores; also from whom you received the fur coat as a gift.” “Madam,” Inspector Standish said, "is there anything else to declare” It was Customs Bureau policy to give travelers the utmost opportunity to make voluntary declarations. “In that case, Madam," Inspector Standish said, "Will you kindly open your handbag?" For the first time the naughty woman betrayed uncertainly. "But surely purses are never inspected." “Normally, they are not. But we do have the right.” Mrs. Mossman was noticeably pale. The Inspector instructed the young Customs officer beside him: “Inspect everything very carefully. Check the things in the bag and cases, the seams and hems of all the clothes. Make a list. You know what to do.” He was leaving when Mrs. Mossman called after him “Officer!” Words and expressions customs inspector - таможенный инспектор naughty – непослушный to be spread - распространяться snap back - откидывать назад to suppose - предполагать to suggest - предлагать to insult – оскорблять politely - вежливо merely - только, просто to amend - изменять to demand - требовать patiently - терпеливо to confirm - подтверждать to refuse - отказываться be obliged - быть обязанным todetain - задерживать, брать под стражу hesitation - нерешительность sign - знак to be obtained - быть полученным utmost - все возможное opportunity - возможность betray - предавать uncertainly - нерешительно noticeably – заметно seam – шов hem - кромка с) Discuss the following questions. 1.

The moment a traveler crosses the border his luggage is taken to the customs-house by porters. Every country has its own customs regulations, which stipulate what articles are liable to duty and what are duty-free. Sometimes an article which falls under customs restrictions and is liable to duty is allowed in duty-free if the traveler does not exceed a certain fixed quota. These are listed in a duty-free quota list. Customs restrictions also include a prohibited articles list. This is a list of items which may not be brought into a country or taken out of it. An official paper (from the proper authorities) giving permission to take items, which fall under special customs restrictions, in or out of a country is known as an import or export license. If the traveler has any item which comes under customs restrictions he is asked to declare it. That is, he is asked to name the item, stating its value and other particulars. The declaration is made either orally or in writing on a special form. The practice seems to vary in different countries. Upon payment of duty the traveler is given a receipt. As a rule, personal effects are duty-free. It sometimes happens that a passenger's luggage is carefully gone through in order to prevent smuggling. The formalities at the customs-house usually take some time. Only after passing through the customs the person realizes that his journey is drawing to an end (or beginning, as the case might be).
