Zollgesetz

The Zollgesetz (Customs Law) in Germany regulates the import and export of goods across the country's borders. It sets rules for customs duties, tariffs, and procedures to ensure proper taxes are paid and goods meet safety standards. The law also governs declarations, inspections, and the handling of customs claims. Its purpose is to protect the economy, enforce trade regulations, and facilitate lawful international commerce. Essentially, it provides a legal framework for managing cross-border trade, ensuring that goods entering or leaving the country adhere to legal and fiscal requirements.
