P.: Well, all right.
С.O.: Now, I see you have books.
P.: Are they prohibited?
C.O.: They'll have to be looked through, sir. Can you put them aside, please?
P.: What? Are you going to read them all?
C.O.: No, our interpreter will just skip through them. That's all. Now, what are these things?
P.: Oh, just a few things for my family. Are they liable to duty too? (Am I liable to pay duty on them too?)
