Zoll/Custom

[timoth31]

Hi
Monday I have to go to the Zoll (german custom), to get my package from subshop and pay a fee. I wanted to know, do I have to show the whole bill with everything I bought written, or just the total price?
Even if you're not from germany, your answer is welcome, I don't think it change much on that kind of thing

They will check what is written on the bill. After all, tarrifs may depend on the type of product you want to import, and also, whether it is even allowed to import. They might even open the package to check the content. So you should be prepared for that.

Noice, won't be the best moment of my life having them check out a chastity cage, well at least everything is legal so I won't get any problem, just the weirdest control of my life

Should've probably ordered on amazon or something

Hi,
the Zoll is only interested in the money. For calculating the fees (~20%) they need an invoice which is either stuck to the outside of the package or inside. It's also possible that there is no invoice at all (depends on how respectable the seller is) so you better bring a copy of the invoice you got by mail.
Don't worry about the content of your package. In my experience the Zoll-people are a friendly relaxed lot and they have seen everything before. They see chastity cages all day (and are possibly wearing them at work).
So no need for shy giggles. Just play it cool.

Well, at least it is not a electronic device. So they might not even open the box. Electronic devices are the most critical even more so if they have any kind of wireless function because they have to fullfill European standards to be allowed in. But they will need to know what is inside.

These guys are usually doing their job. I would not expect that they will ask you questions about the a sex toy, but if you get a very relaxed officer who likes to make small talk, who knows

I hope it is a very special chastity cage, because there is a lot of suff you can order inside the European Union and avoid this trouble. I try to avoid to order stuff from outside the EU, especially, if the seller is not used to exporting to the EU. Shops that target the EU (e.g. cheap stuff from China) usually works, because they know what they have to provide to avoid that a customer is called in to the customs office.

Thanks for the answers! I'm more confident to go there now.

It's with e-stim, but the power come from a AA batteries powered generator, nothing with wireless connection just wires. So I don't think it will cause problems

Just checked the website of the Zoll, and appearently certain devices are banned from import unter European anti torture directives. While most of the stuff refers to things like execution equipment or things like tasers, there are some rules that could apply to BDSM toys.
Appearently whipps with multiple straps are banned, also shocking devices that are intended to be worn by a immobilized person and are intended to execise force against that person. This somehow describes a shocking chastity cage exactly
I don't know how strictly these rules are applied to sex toys though
Let as know what they ask.

I only tried to import a remote controllable shocking collar once for dogs. But it had other functions like tracking the location of the dog. I had to send it back in the end, because there was no indication that it confirmed to regulations for wireless devices. But they did not notice nor ask me about the shocking function. (And while the device is intended for animals, it probably would still be illegal here due to animal protection laws.)
And I really did not want to explain to the officer, that the device was inteded for use on humans, in particular me

Thanks for the information
Well it's just my cock that is immobilized I don't give it a name so it's not a person
And it's a e stim massage power supply https://www.sub-shop.com/products/elect ... -power-box I don't think this enters in torture material, but maybe in medical device so I hope in fits the laws.

Haha "wich breed is your dog?
-Kerkersklave pur breed"

All this thing about zoll reminds me of this scene from Austin Powers [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh6kbQnOAg4[/youtube]

[kerkersklave]

Yeah, a estim device is probably a medical device. And then it has to be certified for the EU. If there is a CE-Sign on there, you're probably fine, if not, you pobably have to send it back.
But estim devices are available everywhere, so maybe you can keep the cage without it...

[timoth31]

Well everything got fine, they just took the US power outlet and 16€.
The registration was with a nice lady who must be my age (23), but not it's the best way to engage with a woman by showing her a bill with Ball gag, chastity cage and power box ^^
After that I got to open my package in front of an old guy, who seemed intrigued by the cage, it's also him who said that they don't allow US usb power adaptor. After that I paid, took my package and got home.
To conclude, if you ever have to go to custom/zoll don't worry they are cool and don't ask anything more than needed, I'm easely stressed and was at a high level of stress before entering the registration office. So it's cool, even if I lost 16€ in this

Now you can celebrate and get some relieve from stress...

First thing I did by coming home! But the e-stim is quite strong even on the weakest power. I use the power box by USB either than 3 AAA batteries

Would make for a good story for a tease though. The old guy should be replaced by a somewhat mature lady and maybe add some uniformed female officers as well.

So it's not just me thinking of fantasies with strict uniformed custom ladies and chastity devices...
