Zollverwaltung

Zollverwaltung is the customs authority responsible for managing and controlling the import and export of goods across a country's borders. Its tasks include collecting customs duties and taxes, ensuring goods comply with regulations, preventing illegal shipments like smuggling, and enforcing trade laws. By doing so, Zollverwaltung helps protect the economy, health, safety, and environment, while facilitating legitimate international trade. They inspect shipments, process customs declarations, and collaborate with other agencies to maintain secure and efficient borders. Essentially, Zollverwaltung acts as a gatekeeper, balancing facilitation of trade with regulatory enforcement.
