Germany: Karlsruhe Customs Seize Gold and Open Tax Cases
German customs authorities have confiscated approximately 1.61 kilograms of undeclared gold jewelry at Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport during passenger inspections of travelers arriving from outside the European Union between March and September 2026. They halted 64 cases of jewelry importation without permits, with a total value exceeding 158,000 euros, and opened 31 cases related to tax violations, with unpaid taxes estimated at around 37,400 euros. Among these cases, customs found gold jewelry valued at nearly 20,000 euros inside the bag of a traveler from the United Kingdom. She explained that the items were wedding gifts, but her failure to declare them resulted in the imposition of customs duties. Customs remind travelers that the duty-free allowance for personal purchases or gifts without a permit is 430 euros. Any amount exceeding this requires declaration and is subject to taxes, with legal exemptions and conditions.
