Dialogue Two
A: Any contrabands? S: No. the rest is all for personal use. A: Would you mind opening this suitcase? S: Of course not, sir. See, they are just some books, small gifts... A: What’ s that? S: Ah, some apples we bought at the Beijing Airport. A: Sorry, Ms. I must confiscate them. S: But they are just for our own use in the hotel... A: You know, food and flowers are not allowed to be brought in. May I look at the gifts? S: Yes, anything wrong? A: No. but I’ m afraid you’ ll have to pay some duty on these two golden necklaces. They are all dutiable articles.
