Passport Control

If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring (中转) to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland，you must pass through Passport Control and Customs immediately after leaving your plane. If you are not British or a citizen of the European Community，you must fill out a special form before your passport is examined．This form is called a landing card and should be given to you during the flight to London．

After landing，follow the AKRIVALS signs．Make sure you are in the right channel (通道) when you reach Passport Control．There is one channel for holders of European Community passports，and a second channel marked “Other Passports”．

Baggage Reclaim (行李领取) Area

After passing through Passport Control，follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area．If you have luggage which was carried in the aircraft：along with other goods，it will be delivered to you in the Baggage Reclaim Area．Look for the sign with your flight number．If you have only hand luggage，go directly through the Baggage Reclaim Area to Customs．

Customs  

All passengers must pass through Customs (海关) after Passport Control．There is a choice of two channels．Green and Red．If you have nothing to declare，go through the Green Channel．If you are not sure about your Duty Free allowances (免税额)，or if you have something to declare, go through the Red Channel．Information about Duty Free allowances can be found on special notice-boards in the Baggage Reclaim Area．You should study this information carefully whether you are going through the Red Channel or not．Please note that if you go through the Green Channel，you may be stopped and asked to open your luggage for inspection (检查)．
