Zollamt notification
If you post your employees to work in Germany, you have a legal duty to notify them in advance to the German customs authority (Zollamt).
The notification has to be made at the latest one day before the work in Germany begins. If you fail to do so, the German authorities can impose heavy fines and even ban your company from operating in Germany.
The notification is made through the Elster portal.
If you do not have an Elster account yet, it has to be set up first – the Zollamt notification can only be made once you are registered on the Elster portal. We can help with that too – you will find our ELSTER registration service here as well.
Our service covers:
- the full preparation and electronic filing of the notification,
- advice on the required details and documents,
Do not miss the legal deadlines – we will notify your workers quickly and without mistakes. Just get in touch and we will take care of everything.
