Inbound Epidemic Prevention!Simple classification of animal and plant product control
The recent spread of African swine fever and Japanese swine fever in mainland China has led China to strengthen its advocacy to ban the carrying of pork and its processed products into the country, and to strengthen animal and plant epidemic prevention work in the Customs channel and increase the amount of punishment.However, as early as December 25, 95, the Executive Yuan has sent a letter to the Agriculture Committee requesting that in order to safeguard the health of the people, protect the domestic ecology and the needs of epidemic prevention and quarantine, it is necessary to restrict inbound passengers from carrying animals and plants and their products on the basis of January 1, 96, and to do so in accordance with the instructions.
The following three key points are mainly highlighted in the official letter “No. No. 0950094817 of the Court”, which includes:

- The Agricultural committee of the hospital is requested to move the quarantine operation counter to the vicinity of customs clearance cabinets to facilitate the implementation and coordination of quarantine and preventive operations and customs inspection.In order to enhance the effectiveness of implementation, the Ministry of Finance is requested to coordinate customs officers with the quarantine detection Dog team of the animal and plant epidemic prevention and Quarantine Bureau, and to jointly carry out the verification of the carrying of animals and plants and their products by inbound passengers at the Customs clearance Office and the Customs Inspection cabinets
In addition, an official document providing a list of animals and plants and their products to control inbound passengers can be used to identify, on a large scale, which animal and plant products are prohibited from carrying entry, and passengers can also use them to quickly check the availability of related products in their carry-on or checked baggage, including:
- Living animals and their products.

The question @issue today's trip is about what to do if you find that the trunk of your checked baggage is broken when you travel by air?
When traveling by air, deliver your beloved suitcase to the airport counter, and when we fly to the destination airport, there is actually a very important action to do, which is to "check the trunk."
Do not silly to see the luggage turntable on the appearance of their own luggage, just a brain grip on the run to get off.Because your suitcase is likely to be damaged during transport due to various accidents such as human or mechanical problems.
I had a similar incident once, and when I left with my suitcase, I found out at the hotel that I had one less lock.Later, while preparing to fly back to Taiwan, he ran to the counter to inquire.Find is of course not to find, but the airport ground handling people are very good, directly send me a.
In the case of China Airlines, for example, their co-commissioned manufacturers can collect, repair suitcases, or provide free services in advance to replace suitcases.Therefore, if you find that your suitcase has been damaged, please remember to file a declaration at the baggage service counter in the first place directly to the immigration area (before customs), followed by the service staff of China Airlines to provide follow-up maintenance or change to a new suitcase services assistance.

How many pieces of hand luggage can evergreen Airways carry on board?
The question @issue travelling abroad today is about how many pieces of hand luggage can I carry on board when I fly on EVA Air's airliner?
In general, hand baggage restrictions that can be carried on board, in addition to the relatively special requirements of low-cost airlines (cheap airlines), the Hand Carry on Luggage/baggage, which can be carried on board by traditional nationality Airlines, is in fact about the same.
In EverGreen Airline, every passenger is entitled to free hand luggage, regardless of any cabin, but passengers travelling in the royal seal, Laurel and business class can carry two pieces of hand luggage.Whether first class, business class or economy class, it is important to note that hand baggage carried to the cabin must be placed under the seat or in the luggage locker.
The volume of each piece of hand luggage, including wheels, handles and side bags, is not more than 23x36x56 cm (9x14x22 inch) and must not exceed 7 kg (15 lbs) in length × width × high size.
No, actually. In addition to the standard piece of hand luggage (first class, business class is two pieces), Evergreen Airways also allows each passenger to carry a personal item on board free of charge.Personal items include, but are not limited to: personal computers, personal bags, small backpacks, briefcase, camera bags, rain gear (umbrellas or raincoats) or a limited amount of duty-free items.
The carrying of personal belongings is subject to the volume specification of Evergreen Airways, and each length x Width x height is based on the principle of 40x30x10 cm (16x12x4 inch), and the sum size of length and width must not exceed 80 cm (32 inch).
In addition, for "small musical instruments, fragile products (must be properly packed in advance), walking sticks (crutches), assistive devices, prosthetic limbs, medical equipment and accessories, child safety seats, baby sleeping baskets, strollers and babies need diapers, bottles, baby food and other on-board necessities (within 5 kg), Special items such as idols or urn "may make a request to the airline to carry them to the cabin due to such factors as the need for special care and unsuitable shipment of the goods.
However, if the special items are too large to be placed in the upper locker, the airline will handle the baggage in a placeholder and may need to purchase an additional ticket to cover the cost of using the seat.One of the more special is that if the instrument is transported in the form of a placeholder baggage, it can be higher than the back of the chair.

What should I pay attention to when travelling by air with an instrument?
The question @issue travel abroad today is about what to watch out for when travelling with an airline on an air jet.
Many musicians may encounter the opportunity to carry equipment to fly abroad, in addition to the music equipment that can be checked in, in fact, in order to protect the musical instruments, the most people choose to carry instruments together with the boarding.
In the case of China Airlines, the size of any hand-held instrument (including a musical instrument box) needs to conform to the length and width of the 100cmx36cmx23cm, and the weight must not exceed 7 kg.As long as these conditions are met, small instruments can be treated as hand-held baggage and brought directly to the aircraft.
However, if it is a bass, cello, which simulates a larger instrument, it is necessary to purchase an additional ticket (without another free baggage allowance) to be processed in cabin placeholder baggage because it cannot be placed under the seat or in the upper locker.
Finally, we would like to recommend that the use of hand-held luggage to carry musical instruments on board, although you can reduce many unexpected conditions, but still carefully and properly packed!And during the delivery, due to the dramatic changes in physical phenomena such as air pressure, temperature and thermal expansion and contraction, it is recommended that you relax the strings before you travel, if you are ready to carry a string instrument.

How much is the speed of a speeding car on the National Highway Expressway not too fast?Won't be fined for taking pictures?
Today's traffic @issue problem is about "National Highway Expressway on the speed of the car is not more than speeding?"Won't be fined for taking pictures?」
As a man, after driving the car into the National Highway Expressway, there will often be a feeling of hot blood, want a big foot on the throttle to enjoy the thrill of high speed.But as a thin man with a purse, you have to weigh how fast you can drive.
Driving fast In addition to better oil, in case of being photographed by the police caught speeding, received the ticket of the amount of fines will be more than how many kilometers of speeding and jump several times, ashamed Wolf frightened!
With the average maximum speed limit of the current highway in China 110KM/H, it seems that you can only drive the car to 110 kilometers an hour?
There are two conditions to consider here.The first is that the car's speed meter will have errors, the second is the police speed measurement has the so-called error allowable value.As long as these two conditions add up, you can get your car a higher speed allowable value.
The speed error of the car itself
Generally speaking, the car's speed meter and the real speed will have errors, especially the different tire size caused by the error will be more obvious.So even if you see your car's speed meter showing 110KM/H, your real speed may only be 100km/h.
So the first step in wanting to drive fast is to have a clear idea of how much difference is between the speed and actual speed of your car.
There are several ways to know your true speed, but the easiest way to do this is to refer to the speed revealed by GPS satellite navigation.
In the old days when GPS wasn't popular, I would even keep an eye on the speed values shown by the newly installed speed measuring equipment on the road.Then found that a bunch of speedometer are bad, is a waste of public money, people can not doubt that there is a suspicion of Tully manufacturers.
Error allowable value of police speed measurement
Police manual speed measurement, or fixed speed camera, due to the legal provisions of the relationship, so although the speed measurement is very accurate, but the issuance of tickets will let the people have 10KM/H error allowable value.
The 11th paragraph of the Uniform penalty and handling rules for road traffic management incidents provides that: "Driving a car faster than the prescribed maximum speed is not more than 10 km/h."」
It means that when the car reaches 120KM/H per hour, it will not be speeding because the allowable error exists, so the police can't give you a ticket (laughs).
Combined with the above two conditions, when you know the real speed of the car, and then refer to the error allowable value, you can know how fast you can drive, and will not receive a ticket.
Finally, remind you that all the above speed and speed limit of the reference is based on 110KM/H, the actual situation, please according to the provisions of each section of the subject.Also, it is not wrong to want to drive fast, but be sure to pay attention to driving safety.
