Some Kinds of Non-Food Stuffs

The traditional and most widely accepted system of classifying nonfood stuffs consists of some categories: clothing, footwear, haberdashery, perfumery, sporting goods, textiles, crockery and glassware, household goods, electric appliances, jewellery, stationary, toys, etc.

Traditionally clothing may be divided into ready-made clothes, hosiery, knitwear, hats, linen. But according to the sex and age of a person clothing may be divided into: men's wear, women's wear and children's wear. But nowadays women's wear is gradually becoming identical in many cases with men's wear. The names of many articles of clothes are the same in men's and women's wear; for example, heavy-weight coats, lightweight coats, raincoats, anoraks, cloaks, cardigans, pullovers, Beaters, shirts, etc. The name "trousers" may include slacks, pants, jeans, cords.

The dressing of children moves now towards the miniaturization of adult fashion, including cords, velour skirts, jeans, dresses and suits.

Most people try to have in their wardrobes clothes in natural colours and made of natural materials. The prices on such clothes are rather high, but it would be probably explained by the fact mat consumers are looking for durability, value and quality and are prepared to make a purchase which will cost them more but which is expected to last them longer.

We would also miss much flavour in our meals.

Duties of a Customs Officer

The work of Customs officers is very important and many-sided. They deal with passengers, cargoes, transport. The passengers going through customs have to fill in a customs declaration form. They have to declare certain items they are bringing into the country. They also have to open their luggage for inspection. Customs inspectors are trained to recognize the passengers who are carrying things into a country illegally to prevent smuggling. The inspectors know all about hiding smuggled items in bandages, hair, books, toys, etc.

The Work of Customs

For the years Customs has come to mean many things to many people. To the international traveller, Customs is the men and women in blue at the border station, airport, or seaport who examine personal luggage upon return to the country. To the importer, they provide advice, protection, and control of merchandise shipped into the country. To the smuggler, Customs is the planes, vessels, vehicles and dedicated people constantly monitoring the nation's perimeters to thwart attempts at illicit entry of merchandise or smuggling.

Customs is all these things and much more. First of all Customs deals with passengers and their luggage.

In nearly every country Customs collects import (and sometimes export) duties, issues export and import licences and collects import statistics.

To assess duty Customs needs to know:

1. The value of the goods (excluding transport, insurance and other costs).

2. The country of origin. The goods might be duty free or have a lower duty depending on whether the exporting country has a trading agreement with the importing country.

3. The Harmonized System Nomenclature. It is an international system of classification of goods. Goods in different countries have different names and the Nomenclature tells a Customs officer which class of goods he is dealing with.

Besides collecting duties Customs issues export and import licences and gathers statistics.
