Peço ajuda por favor. AT THE CUSTOMS HOUSES mugglers try to bring illegal items into a country every day. People who travel to foreing countries sometimes try to avoid paying duty taxes on items they purchase on vacation. Some people try to enter our country illegally. Who prevents these things from happenin? This is the job of Customs inspectors. Every country has its own Customs regulations, which spiulate what articles are liable to duty and what are duty-free. These officials work at entry points. This includes airports, seaports, and borders. 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.
