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.

Frequently asked questions

The notification is mandatory at the latest 1 day before the work in Germany begins. Filing later counts as a breach of the law and can lead to heavy fines.

It applies to every employer posting workers to Germany, especially in sectors such as construction, transport, cleaning, security services and catering.

The notification is made electronically. It requires details of the company, the workers, the place of work and the period of the posting.

We will gladly send you a detailed list of the documents needed. The main details are: the company identification, the employee details and the place and time of the work.

If you are inspected, you risk heavy fines (in the thousands of euros), the work being stopped or a complete ban on doing business in Germany. The customs authorities check these duties very strictly.
