阅读理解 Australia has very strict laws relating to the importation and possession of certain goods．Food, plant material and animal products from overseas–including many common souvenirs－could introduce some of the world’s most serious pests and diseases into Australia．Failing to declare quarantine items(需要检疫的物品)on arrival could destroy our agriculture, tourism industries and special environment． Every piece of luggage will be screened or x-rayed on arrival in Australia．So you must declare for inspection of all food, plant material and animal products to check that they are free of pests and diseases． You must tick YES on the Incoming Passenger Card(IPC)to declare if you are carrying any food, plant material or animal products．In signing the IPC, passengers are making a legal declaration and failure to answer all questions truthfully can have serious consequences． If you fail to declare or dispose of any quarantine items, or make a false declaration： ﹡you will get caught; ﹡you could be fined over a ＄200 on–the-spot; or ﹡you could be prosecuted and fined more than a ＄60,000 fine and risk up to 10 years imprisonment． If you are not sure about the items you are carrying, ask a quarantine officer who will determine whether they are allowed into Australia． |
