Enforcement in Germany carries fines from EUR 250 to EUR 5,000 under Abgabenordnung § 378; Zollverwaltungsgesetz (ordinary personal cases are handled as civil infringements). Restricted status means compliant carriage is achievable with the right paperwork and quantities; the practical risks are seizure, duty, and delay rather than criminal liability for a good-faith traveller. Arrival checks are carried out by Zollkriminalamt / Zoll (German Customs — Federal Customs Administration); when in doubt use the declare (red) channel — declared goods at worst attract duty or surrender, while undeclared goods attract penalties.
