Basic Form Filling · 基本填写入境卡
basicExcuse me, could I get a customs declaration form? I didn't receive one earlier.
打扰一下，能给我一张海关申报表吗？之前没收到。
💡 入境卡通常在降落前1-2小时由空乘发放。如果你睡着了可能会错过。有些国家（如美国）已经改用电子入境（Mobile Passport或CBP One app），不再需要纸质表格。
Here you go. You'll need a pen — would you like to borrow one? Make sure to fill it out in English using block letters.
给您。您需要笔吗——要借一支吗？请用英文大写字母填写。
Yes, I'd love a pen, thanks. What does 'port of embarkation' mean? Is that where I'm coming from or going to?
好的，借一支笔，谢谢。'port of embarkation' 是什么意思？是出发地还是目的地？
💡 入境卡上的地址填你在美国第一晚住的酒店地址即可，不需要精确到门牌号。如果你住朋友家，填朋友的地址。
Port of embarkation is where you boarded this flight — so your departure city. For the address field, just write the hotel name and city where you're staying.
出发港口是您登机的城市——就是您的出发城市。地址栏写您住的酒店名和城市就行。
Got it. One more question — for 'purpose of visit,' should I write 'tourism' or 'sightseeing'?
明白了。再问一个——'访问目的'那栏，写'tourism'还是'sightseeing'？
Either works, but 'tourism' is the most common answer. Keep it simple — the immigration officer may ask you about it at the counter.
都行，但'tourism'最常用。写简单点——入境官可能会在柜台问你这个。
Complex Fields & Declaration Issues · 复杂字段和申报问题
intermediateI'm confused about the 'goods to declare' section. I bought some traditional medicine and dried food as gifts. Do I need to declare those?
我对'物品申报'那部分有疑问。我买了些中药和干货作为礼物。需要申报吗？
💡 携带中药材、干货（肉干、干蘑菇等）入境很多国家需要申报。美国、澳大利亚、新西兰对食品类入境特别严格。如果不确定，建议主动申报——诚实申报不会被罚，但未申报被查到可能面临高额罚款。
You should definitely declare those. Dried food and medicine are often flagged by customs, especially in the US and Australia. It's better to declare and let them decide.
你肯定要申报。干货和药品在海关经常被重点检查，特别是美国和澳大利亚。最好申报让他们来判断。
Thanks for the advice. What about the cash declaration? I'm carrying about $8,000 in US dollars. Is that over the limit?
谢谢建议。那现金申报呢？我带了大约8000美元。这超限额了吗？
💡 大多数国家要求携带超过10,000美元（或等值外币）入境时必须申报。8,000美元低于限额不需要申报，但如果加上其他货币总额超过10,000就需要。
The limit is $10,000. You're under that, so you don't need to declare it. But if you have other currencies that add up to over $10,000 total, then you do.
限额是10,000美元。你没超，所以不需要申报。但如果加上其他货币总额超过10,000就需要了。
No, it's just US dollars. Thanks, you've been super helpful! I would've been so lost filling this out on my own.
没有，只有美元。谢谢，你帮了大忙！自己填肯定一头雾水。
Happy to help! One last tip — when you go through customs, just walk calmly and answer their questions clearly. They do this all day, so there's nothing to worry about.
很高兴帮到你！最后一个建议——过海关时保持冷静，清楚地回答问题就好。他们一整天都在做这个，没什么好担心的。
