    Hi I tried this today at Frankfurt Airport at 2 Zoll points. 1 before the security check, 1 inside near the Gate. This document does not work for Gold unless you have paid taxes in Germany for that Gold.

    Hi, my query is about the usual large number of electronic items I carry for my India visits, as follows:
    1. Office Laptop (received from office in Germany & therefore should not be a concern, though I wont have any bills)
    2. Office iPhone (received from office in Germany & therefore should not be a concern, though I wont have any bills)
    3. Personal Laptop (bill demonstrating that it was bought in Germany on Amazon should be adequate)
    4. Personal Phone (bought in India & already previously brought into Germany; I have its bill
    which on conversion is a bit more than 430 Euro).
    Query 1: Are my assumptions for points 1-3 above correct that these DO NOT need to be disclosed at all on the disclosure form?
    Query 2: For the personal phone, if I put it on this form, can I be asked to pay tax at this stage for the same? How should this be handled?

    • @VanakkamGermany

The point is that the phone was purchased while the residence was in India. Ex : Phone with INR 125000 purcahased in 2022 & individual moved to Germany (along with old phone) in 2023.

      You can declare them at airport Zoll 🛃 before flying, beware of one point- they may ask a question, why didn’t you declare them earlier.
      1. you can prove them that you got it as a gift 🎁 from your friend (or)
      2. your parents brought them with them and gifted you but didn’t pay any taxes because it was under the limit (or)
      3. you brought the gold very long before (value of gold was very less during those times, so didn’t pay customs tax.
      If none of them is helping you out,
      carry very less gold (only mangalsutra) or so.

    2. And do we need to declare this above mentioned limit of gold? Or the declaration should be done only if we exceed this limit?

      It all depends how you are going to address the issue to the customs officer.
      They may ask a question, why didn’t you declare them earlier. Following tips may help you. Disclaimer : I am not an authorized person to recommend it. Follow these points.
      1. you can prove them that you got it as a gift 🎁 from your friend (or)
      2. your parents brought them with them and gifted you but didn’t pay any taxes because it was under the limit (or)

Now, if I carry the gold jewellery back to India for some family function, then how can I bring it back to Germany with me? Do I have to declare it altogether?

      It’s very difficult to explain, it all depends on the officer who is going to deal with it. Some officers will raise a question, how did you enter without declaring it, so pay taxes for the same. You need to be bold enough explaining that you got the jewels and the officer told not to pay taxes because it’s under the 430€ limit so on.
