【情境對話】
 
April: Meredith,I just received phone call from DHL about my parcel. They told me that I have to pay NT600 tariff to release it. I didn’t know that there is such aregulation. Is this a blackmail or bluff?
April:Meredith, 我剛接到DHL的電話說我買的包裹有問題。說我必須付600元的關稅才能放行。我沒聽過這項規定，會不會是詐欺，還是在騙我?
 
Meredith:I don’t think so. How much of your order is?
Meredith:應該不會，你的訂單金額是多少呢?
 
April: Around NT15,000. I got a leather jacket and several dresses. It’son sale, with 25% additional discount. Can’t miss it.
April: 差不多台幣15,000,我買了件皮夾克跟幾件洋裝。因為有特價，可以多折扣25%，不想錯過呢。
 
Meredith: Well, if the order value is over NT3,000, according to the custom regulation, youare supposed topay for the tariff.
Meredith:如果訂單金額超過台幣3000根據海關法就要付關稅哦。
 
April: Are you sure? My last order was NT6,000, and there was no such tariff notice. 
April: 真的嗎?可是我上次買了6000元也沒這個問題呀?
 
Meredith: You were just lucky. I had paid the tariff many times.
Meredith:你上次比較幸運。我付過很多次關稅了呢。
 
April: Ok, as long as it’s not blackmail, I’m glad to pay for the tariff. Well, it’s good citizen'sobligation. Right? Besides, even with the tariff, it’s still worthy.
April: 好吧，只要不是詐騙就好了。付關稅沒有關係，本來就是國民的義務，是吧? 而且，即使加上關稅還是很划算的。
