Zollrecht

Zollrecht, or customs law, governs the import and export of goods between countries. It sets the rules for collecting tariffs (taxes) on goods crossing borders, ensuring proper classification and valuation. Zollrecht also includes regulations on customs procedures, import/export restrictions, and trade compliance. Its purpose is to protect domestic industries, facilitate legitimate trade, and generate government revenue. Essentially, it provides a legal framework to manage border crossings, helping to ensure goods are properly documented, taxed, and compliant with international agreements.
