basicHi, I'm looking for a bottle of whisky as a gift. What do you recommend?
你好,我想买一瓶威士忌送人。有什么推荐的吗?
We have some great options! This Johnnie Walker Blue Label is very popular as a gift. It's $180, which is about 30% cheaper than regular retail.
我们有很多不错的选择!这款尊尼获加蓝牌很受欢迎,很适合送礼。180美元,比正常零售价便宜大约30%。
That sounds good. Is there a limit on how much alcohol I can bring into the country?
听起来不错。入境能带多少酒有限制吗?
It depends on your destination. For most countries, you can bring 1-2 liters duty-free. Where are you flying to?
取决于您的目的地。大多数国家可以免税带1到2升。您飞去哪里?
I'm flying back to China.
我飞回中国。
For China, the duty-free allowance is 1,500 ml of alcohol. This bottle is 750 ml, so you could actually buy two bottles if you'd like.
去中国的话,免税酒精额度是1500毫升。这瓶750毫升,所以您可以买两瓶。
I'll just take one. Can I pay with Chinese yuan?
就买一瓶吧。可以用人民币付吗?
We accept US dollars, euros, and major credit cards. We don't accept yuan, unfortunately. Would you like to pay by card?
我们接受美元、欧元和主要信用卡。很抱歉不接受人民币。您用信用卡付吗?
Yes, I'll use my Visa card.
好的,用Visa卡。
Here's your receipt. Keep it in case customs asks for it. The bottle will be sealed in a duty-free bag — please don't open it until you've passed customs at your destination.
给您收据。留好以防海关检查。酒会密封在免税袋里——请到达目的地过完海关再打开。
💡 免税品的密封袋在到达目的地海关前不要打开,否则可能被征税。
Tax Refund Process · 退税流程
intermediateExcuse me, where is the tax refund counter? I have some purchases I'd like to get a refund on.
请问,退税柜台在哪里?我有一些购物想退税。
The tax refund counter is near Gate A, before you go through security. Make sure you have your receipts, the tax refund forms from the stores, and your passport ready.
退税柜台在A区登机口附近,过安检之前。请准备好您的购物收据、商店给的退税表和护照。
Do I need to show the items I bought to the customs officer?
需要给海关人员看我买的东西吗?
Sometimes yes. The customs officer may ask to see the items, especially high-value purchases. So keep them accessible — don't pack them in your checked luggage before getting the stamp.
有时需要。海关人员可能会要求看商品,尤其是高价值的购买。所以放在容易拿到的地方——盖章之前不要放进托运行李里。
Got it. Can I get the refund in cash or only on my credit card?
明白了。退税可以拿现金还是只能退到信用卡?
You can choose either cash or card refund. Cash is immediate but there's usually a processing fee. Card refund takes 2-4 weeks but no fee. Most people prefer the card refund.
现金和信用卡都可以。现金是即时的但通常有手续费。退到卡上要2到4周但没有手续费。大多数人选择退到卡上。
I'll do the card refund then. How much will I get back approximately?
那我选退到卡上。大概能退多少?
The VAT rate here is 20%, but the actual refund is usually around 12-14% after the service fee. Based on your receipts, you should get back about €85.
这里的增值税率是20%,但扣除服务费后实际退税通常在12-14%左右。根据您的收据,大概能退85欧元。
That's helpful. Thank you for explaining everything.
很有帮助。谢谢你解释这些。
