Passport Control(护照检查处)

If you are arriving at London Heathrow Airport and are not transferring to another flight outside Britain or Northern Ireland，you must pass through the Passport Control and the Customs(海关) immediately after leaving your plane . If you are not from Britain or a citizen of the European Community(欧共体)，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 ARRIVALS signs . Make sure you are in the right channel when you reach the Passport Control . There is one channel for holders of European Community Passports，and a second channel marked “Other Passports”.

Baggage Reclaim Area (取行李处)

After passing through the Passport Control，follow the signs to the Baggage Reclaim Area . If you have luggage which is carried in the aircraft hold，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 the Customs.
