About Zoll

The face of customs has changed significantly in recent years. In addition to collecting taxes and duties, its central tasks include ensuring the smooth flow of international goods traffic. Customs also ensures fair competition in the labor market by combating undeclared work and illegal employment, as well as monitoring the statutory minimum wage. By combating product piracy and organized crime, and by advocating for species protection, customs serves citizens, the economy, and security. As a federal authority with the General Directorate of Customs, 41 main customs offices, 247 customs offices, and 8 customs investigation offices, customs is present nationwide. Customs offers an attractive workplace for over 46,000 employees. Digitized, mobile, and dislocated work in almost all areas of work stands for flexibility and the compatibility of career and family. In 2021, customs hired over 2,200 junior employees in various career paths.
