Watches

Patek Philippe watch
A customs inspection finds two undeclared Patek Philippe watches in a traveller's bag, with the text noting the brand's high value and import restrictions.

Source text: Upon opening one of the bags, he found two expensive Patek Philippe watches—rated among the world’s best. Not only did the traveller’s declaration not list any watches, but more than one watch of this particular brand could not legally be imported without a special permit from the agency which handled them in the United States.
