How to get through customs correctly?
Every person has gone through a customs point at least once in his life. Moreover, if products are to be transported across the border for sale, the customs representative at Sheremetyevo can provide assistance. You have to prepare for the procedure yourself. Usually the customs officer introduces himself and asks questions clearly, which should be answered as concretely as possible. In this case, jokes will not be appropriate, and sometimes completely unacceptable, since they can bring serious trouble. Sometimes the words "yes" or "no" will be enough. But you can ask clarifying questions, for example, when it comes to declaring various items or currency.
How to communicate with the customs officer?
It is better to conduct a conversation with a customs officer in a benevolent tone, but not be talkative and not try to talk him into conversation on detached topics. Even if they communicate with you in a joking tone, the joke from the border crossing may not be understood, since for customs officers all people are potential violators, and they are obliged to identify them. All extraneous questions that the customs officer asks have their own purpose and a lot can depend on the correctness of the answer. That is why many recommend speaking at this moment as little as possible, providing only truthful information and not answering ambiguously or not clear to the customs officer. An aggressive tone in communicating with a border officer is not acceptable.
We leave the customs point
You should leave customs without haste and only after the customs officer gives the green light for it. You should definitely wait for the cherished words from him: "Bon voyage", "You are free." You shouldn't go after nodding your head, it's better to ask yourself: "Can I go?" and only after agreeing to go. All papers that are issued at the entrance must be kept, as they may be required to be presented at the exit. Not having the right document can be very expensive. Do not forget about these simple rules, then the path will always be easy.
