At the customs desk — Harbour · Demand & Supply
Ships from far islands arrive at Gull Harbour every morning. Officer Bram at the customs desk checks what comes in. Visitors ask him lots of questions.
Your task
Is each sentence about customs true or false?
- Customs checks goods that cross a border: what they are, whether they are allowed and whether they are safe. Some goods pay a tariff, a tax on imports, which can make them cost more in the shops.
- Invented stories to learn from. Prices and shops in them are made up, and this is not financial advice. Ask a trusted adult before buying or selling anything for real.
- Never share personal or payment details online. Nothing about you is collected.
Score
- Understanding trade — You understood how this part of trade works.
- Wise choices — You weighed your options before choosing.
- Fair play — You treated buyers and sellers fairly.
In real life
Countries have customs services at ports, airports and borders. Rules and tariffs are different in each country and change over time; this is a simplified picture. Some groups of countries agree to drop tariffs between them.
