Can I bring Power Banks to Germany?

⚠️When entering Germany from a non-EU country, verbally declare goods exceeding the applicable traveller allowances at customs and pay applicable import duties. For qualifying imports from non-EU countries, applicable special territories (such as the Canary Islands) or Heligoland, the aggregate allowance for other goods is €300 per traveller, €430 for qualifying air/sea travellers, or €175 for travellers under 15. This is not an allowance per power bank. Goods must travel by the same route as the traveller; this includes baggage sent ahead or forwarded through the railway company when travelling by train, but excludes luggage forwarded by post. Imports must be occasional and exclusively for your own use or consumption, your household or gifts; their purpose, nature and quantity must not indicate commercial importation, and carriage for others for payment is excluded. Values include foreign VAT; allowances cannot be pooled and may be used only once per journey. An indivisible item exceeding the allowance is assessed on its full value, not just the excess. The higher maritime allowance requires the vessel's last port to be outside the EU or in an EU region where Directives 2006/112/EC and 2020/262/EU do not apply. Inland-waterway passengers, passengers on private noncommercial aircraft or vessels used by their owner or lessee, and travellers entering from Switzerland across Lake Constance do not qualify for the air/sea category. Special quantity and value limits apply to certain groups, including border residents and commuters. Separately, travellers normally resident outside the EU customs territory who temporarily visit it may obtain temporary admission for new or used noncommercial personal effects reasonably required for the journey, in quantities consistent with that personal use. These effects must be carried on the person or in baggage, whether accompanied or unaccompanied, and re-exported no later than the traveller's departure from the EU customs territory. Normally no customs document or security is required, but articles involving high import duties and taxes may require both; valuable objects may require a special procedure. For personal baggage qualifying under these conditions and duty-free travel purchases meeting the above eligibility conditions and allowances, declaration by conduct, such as using a green exit at an airport or port, is possible where no special customs formalities are required. Ordinary personal-use goods brought from another EU country are generally duty-free; the special fiscal territories above must be treated separately. Customs tax relief does not waive battery transport restrictions, other product restrictions or applicable customs procedures.

Form needed: Verbal declaration at customs for goods exceeding the applicable traveller allowances on entry from a non-EU country; customs documents and security may be required for temporary personal effects involving high import duties and taxes.
