Customs audits are a reality, and it is best to prepare [in order] to reduce [the] level of risk. Generally, the customs authorities will establish the sectors of activity covered by the audits throughout the following year. Audits can also be triggered by the discovery of an erroneous transaction in a specific sector of activity. The customs authorities will then locate a checklist of importers likely to follow this type of transaction. Therefore, it is essential for any importer to find out how to declare in-bond goods. 1, record 1, English, - customs%20audit

Les audits douaniers sont une réalité, et mieux vaut [se] préparer pour réduire [le] niveau de risque. En général, les autorités douanières établiront les secteurs d'activités visés par les audits au cours de l'année qui suit. Les audits peuvent également être déclenchés par la découverte d'une opération erronée dans un secteur d'activité spécifique. Les autorités douanières identifieront alors une liste des importateurs susceptibles de suivre ce genre d'opération. Il est donc essentiel pour tout importateur de s'informer pour savoir comment déclarer une marchandise en douane. 1, record 1, French, - audit%20douanier

A stocker works at a store organizing, stocking, and restocking shelves with goods for sale. Typically, stores that employ dedicated stockers are larger facilities such as department, appliance, and hardware stores; supermarkets also use stockers. The primary job of a stocker is to replace and rotate items on the sales floor in compliance with store procedures. They may follow inventory or restock reports generated by previous or ongoing sales data to replace items. In instances where new products are to be offered, the stocker typically helps manage space and display areas as part of the job. 2, record 2, English, - shelf%20stocker

The principle that appears to follow from Liver Alkali Co. v. Johnson is that there is a class of public carriers by water, such as lightermen, who carry subject to the liabilities of common carriers but who must be distinguished from them because they are not liable to indictment or action for refusing to accept goods for carriage as common carriers are, and that that class includes shipowners who let their ships under charter. 2, record 4, English, - public%20carrier

Liability to capture. It was Lord Stowell who introduced in prize law the rule that forfeiture of the neutral vessel can only follow upon proof of knowledge by the shipowner of the contraband nature of the cargo. The true test of liability to capture was, in Lord Stowell' s view, the state of mind of the neutral claimant :... The Declaration of London elected to rest the principle of confiscation not on the knowledge of the owner, but on the relative proportion of contraband to the whole cargo. The ship is involved in all cases where she carries contraband goods which either in value, weight, quantity or freight exceed half of the whole cargo... 1, record 5, English, - liability%20to%20capture
