Kiki: Yes, I have two bottles of Maotai from Chi-na, and two bottles of sake bought in the duty-free shop in Japan.
C 0: Then, you'll have to pay duty for Maotai.
C 0: Open this box, please.
Kiki: Only some peanuts. That's my favorite snack.
C 0: I'm sorry. But agricultural products are not allowed to be brought into America. I bet you also bring some fruit, because I can smell it. Perishables are not allowed,either.Sorry, Miss. I have to confiscate all of these.
Kiki: But...
C 0: Miss, please give us permission to do a close check on your luggage.
Kiki: What if I say no?
C 0: Then we'll send you back to China.
Kiki: Well, in this case, I say yes.
