Very useful video. We use to attach(tape) copy of bills outside the packaging box additionally when sending via India post and mention it many places on the box. Saved the Einführumsatzsteuer twice and third time got proper tax levied for the excess value alone.
Great tip! we did the same 3 years before . But in recent years, the post still goes through customs office (90%) of cases. Very difficult to avoid customs, unless the procedure mentioned in video is followed up.
Thank you very much. The video is really informative. I will try this next time for sure. Few questions: 1. How do we prove the value of used items and food items that parents send to us? 2. You have mentioned to avoid oils, so are pickles also sort of prohibited? ;)
Very informative. But how do you declare for used clothes/vessels, home made food and masalas? as they are old and wont have bills and will for sure below 45 euros as they are used.
I am currently in India. I will be moving in 3 days and it's my first time to Germany. I am planning to send courier. So I thought of registering as selbstverzoller in Deutsch Web. In order to activate the account, it's mentioned a verification code will be sent to my address. But I am worried if I will be there to receive the letter. Can any of my friends collect it or should i wait till i reach there? also any idea how long will it take to receive the verification code?
It takes a week to receive the code. But since you are moving to Germany for the first time, you can declare it under the relocation (Übersiedlungsgut)
We sent 30kg parcel, but after 50days they returned to sender. The recipient didn't receive any letter or information. They struggled to track the parcel, but in vain. What could be the reason? Any guess
This happens very rarely and it all depends on the delivery person who takes extra time to wait in front of the doors and some don’t wait longer and leave a message telling no one was there at home, and I really don’t know the reason behind it. Th

You can send artificial ones, keeping bill would guarantee the value of the article and one can avoid paying the customs tax, if there is no bill then the customs officer can evaluate the own cost
Very useful video. I also received the parcel today and paid custom duty. Now to claim it back, whom to write as I didn't receive any letter. Further, should we send email or physical letter and is there any format to write? Kindly help.
@harshal1990 there is a link which was displayed in the video, where you can request for the letter as I mentioned. In that particular letter you will see all the details to whom you should communicate back
Please reply I really needed a solution. My mother send a courier from india it have some snacks and my old clothes and the value of goods she have estimated is 15000 inr . My courier came to local zoll office but they said one of my cloth is have some kind of fox skin . They asked me which fox skin. I googled everything and that fabric pattern is fox pattern and i also show them the prof from india the shopkeeper gave the written document about the particular clothes and the custom office asked for it. But after all this she is not satisfied and they send back my courier to frankfut. What will happen next ? I am so tensed I asked them to keep this cloth and give the other stuff but they were likee noooo
Can you please clarify a doubt? Three months back I sent some medicine from Chennai to my daughter in Goettingen Germany. It reached only after a month . Do we have to mention anything for quick delivery ( you have told in the video the parcel reached in a shorter span of time).
Nothing specific required to be mentioned to speed up. It depends upon the destination customs officer who processes it. I am surprised your medicine courier was approved and sent to the receiver
I want to send some kitchen utensils like pressure cooker and some cooking pans along with spices, is kitchen utensils are prohibited to send? I read online that for pressure cooker they charge custom tax, is that true?

Much needed info ❤
Ver helpful. Thanks a lot for sharing bro
Thanks for commenting and watching bro
Thank you very much. The video is really informative. I will try this next time for sure.
Few questions:
1. How do we prove the value of used items and food items that parents send to us?
2. You have mentioned to avoid oils, so are pickles also sort of prohibited? ;)
1. Cost is going to be a rough guess (for used items)
2. Pickles are also prohibited, since it has oil.
Vanakkam 🙏
If we send parcel from India to Germany, products value below 45euros, we no need for duties to pay. Isn't it.
Yes that’s correct and that’s the whole part of video
Very informative. But how do you declare for used clothes/vessels, home made food and masalas? as they are old and wont have bills and will for sure below 45 euros as they are used.
Not necessarily needs to be proved for the above case, so you can get rid of it. Used clothes can be identified very easily by seeing

Can we send artificial jewellery to germany
Do we need to provide any bill
Because the shop where i bought the jewelry doesn't provide any bills
You can send artificial ones, keeping bill would guarantee the value of the article and one can avoid paying the customs tax, if there is no bill then the customs officer can evaluate the own cost

How can I give a bill for used stuff clothes etc
You can mention it as used stuffs and you left them in india due to excessive baggage.
What about sending product from germany to india? Any help?
Sorry less idea in that
We paid 250 euros to UPS courier in october 2022. Can we claim now bro?
Now it’s way too late, you had 30 days time to do it.m after receiving parcel .

Tax are levied only when the value of the total object exceeds certain limit.
I was levied customs on pressure cooker when that was the only one I bought from India.
How much price for weight
Damn, it's so complex😅
Maybe I will pay extra to my airline for the excess baggage
