a) Сотрудниками Минераловодской таможни пресечена пересылка по почте наркотиков. Житель города отправил украинскому адресату средства гигиены. В ценной бандероли находились два куска мыла и детский крем. Вот только тюбик из-под крема оказался упаковкой для бумажного контейнера, в котором обнаружено “вещество растительного происхождения серо-зеленого цвета”. По данным экспертизы, в соседнюю республику направлялся гашиш. Вес обнаруженного таможенниками наркотика – 10,83 грамма.
б) Польские таможенники конфисковали картину Огюста Ренуара стоимостью $350,000. Её пытались отправить в США в посылке, на которой было указано, что это работа небольшой ценности. Отправитель решил сэкономить, ведь за легальную пересылку ему пришлось бы заплатить $63,000.
Task 13. Read and translate the newspaper article concerning the problem with postal traffic in Russia.
Foreign-based Internet shopping sites are drawing increasing numbers of Russian consumers looking for deals, but as delays mount at the country’s notoriously inefficient postal service, many are finding that securing delivery of their items is no simple task.
Russian Post is nevertheless the only option for many people because it is much cheaper and parcels shipped using the service fall under different customs rules: Customers can ship items valued at up 10,000 rubles ($340) without paying a duty through Russian post, while the figure is only 5,000 through DHL and UPS.
Task 14. Discuss in “buzz groups” advantages and disadvantages of trading via the Internet.
