填寫報關表COMPLETING A CUSTOMS DECLARATION CARD
( 2010-10-01 )



      You are on board a plane, which is about to land at the Vancouver International Airport. Flight attendants are busy handing out Customs Declaration Cards to each of the passengers. There is something you do not understand about the declaration, so you stop one of the attendants and ask her to explain it to you.

      A:  Excuse me. 
      B:  Yes, sir. What can I do for you?
      A:  I'm going on to Toronto in the afternoon, so I want to know if I must fill out this card right now.
      B:  Yes, you have to complete the card now. Show it along with your passport to the Vancouver Customs Inspector when we land.
      A:  Does it mean that I have to clear customs here?
      B:  Yes, since you are going through customs in Vancouver now, you won't have to do it again in Toronto.
      A:  I see. Thank you very much.
