When entering Germany, customs regulations apply, which you must observe depending on your country of origin and the goods you are carrying. Within the EU, travel is generally free of customs formalities; however, checks may still take place, for example to monitor cash or prohibited and restricted goods.
For arrivals from non-EU countries, there are allowances for goods that you may bring in duty-free. If these allowances are exceeded, the goods must be declared. Please pay particular attention to regulations regarding cash, plants, and protected species products, as well as prohibited or restricted items such as weapons or certain medicines.
At the airport, two exits are available to you:
- Green exit for goods that do not need to be declared
- Red exit for goods that must be declared
