For example, anyone traveling to Germany from Syria should find out about the current customs regulations before departure. This can help avoid problems during inspection.
Restrictions Apply to Certain Goods
Items for personal use and gifts may be imported into Germany duty- and tax-free within the legal travel allowances—see the links. However, special regulations or import restrictions apply to certain products, such as meat and dairy products, plants, animals, medications, and large quantities of tobacco or alcohol. If the duty-free limits are exceeded or if goods are intended for sale, they must be declared to German customs.
