basic
You

Excuse me, do I need to fill out a customs declaration form?

请问,我需要填写海关申报表吗?

Yes, every arriving passenger needs to complete one. Here's the form. Fill in your personal information, flight details, and list any items you need to declare.

是的,每位入境旅客都需要填写。给您表格。填写个人信息、航班信息,列出需要申报的物品。

You

What counts as items I need to declare? I have some gifts and personal electronics.

什么算需要申报的?我有一些礼物和个人电子产品。

You need to declare: goods over the duty-free allowance, food and agricultural products, more than $10,000 in cash, and any restricted items. Personal electronics for your own use are usually fine.

需要申报的有:超过免税额度的商品、食品和农产品、超过1万美元的现金、以及任何限制物品。自用的个人电子产品通常没问题。

You

I have about $500 worth of gifts — mostly tea and snacks for friends. Do I need to declare those?

我有大约500美元的礼物——主要是给朋友的茶叶和零食。需要申报吗?

The tea is fine, but food items including snacks should be declared — even if they're within the allowance. Just check 'yes' on the food section of the form. It doesn't necessarily mean you'll be taxed; they just need to inspect it.

茶叶没问题,但食品包括零食应该申报——即使在额度内。在表格的食品栏勾「是」就行。不一定会被征税,只是需要检查。

You

Got it. I've filled everything out. Which line do I go to?

明白了。我都填好了。我去哪条通道?

Since you have items to declare, please go to the red channel — "Goods to Declare." The green channel is for passengers with nothing to declare.

因为您有需要申报的物品,请走红色通道——「有物品申报」。绿色通道是给没有申报物品的旅客的。

💡 大部分国际机场海关都分红绿两个通道:红色是有物品需要申报的,绿色是没有的。走错通道如果被查到会有麻烦。

You

Thank you for your help.

谢谢你的帮助。
