Customs in Freiburg to seize 14 kg of un-taxed water pipe tobacco
Customs Officers Seize Untaxed Tobacco from Freiburg Shisha Bar
In a recent incident, customs officers from the Main Customs Office Lörrach seized approximately 14 kilograms of untaxed water pipe tobacco from a shisha bar in Freiburg. The inspection, which took place in the late afternoon of August 21, 2021, revealed that the tobacco products were found in the kitchen and basement of the bar.
According to the regulations in Germany, tobacco products must be legally taxed within the Federal Republic of Germany for offering and sale. Only tobacco products with a valid German tax stamp (tax banderole) are marketable and can be circulated in Germany. However, the tobacco discovered in the Freiburg shisha bar was not properly taxed in Germany.
The business owner now faces a tax evasion procedure, with the estimated tobacco tax evasion amounting to around 700 euros. The Main Customs Office Lörrach is responsible for enforcing tobacco tax regulations in the region and can initiate a tax evasion procedure for those suspected of violating these regulations. They can also seize tobacco products that are not properly taxed in Germany.

It is important to note that the operator of the shisha lounge in Freiburg, where untaxed waterpipe tobacco was found, is not publicly specified in available records.
This incident serves as a reminder that adhering to tax regulations is crucial for any business, and violations can lead to severe consequences. The Main Customs Office Lörrach can issue penalties for tobacco tax evasion, in addition to seizing the illegal tobacco products.
Furthermore, it is essential to understand that the production of tobacco products in Germany requires a permit. Without a permit, the production and sale of tobacco products are illegal.
In conclusion, the incident in Freiburg highlights the importance of complying with tobacco tax regulations and obtaining the necessary permits for the production and sale of tobacco products in Germany.
