Citizen account
Account type
As a private individual, you create a “citizen account”, with which you can use the following customs services, for example: motor vehicle tax, binding customs tariff information or cross-border movement of goods.
You must create a business customer account if you constitute/are:
- a sole proprietorship,
- an association of persons,
- an association (Verein),
- a registered trader (e. K.)
- or a freelancer.
Identification
To clearly identify yourself when registering on the Customs Portal, you need an account with ELSTER or BundID, your eID (identity card, electronic residence permit, eID card) or a signature certificate and EORI number. If you register with your email address and password, you can only use some of the services. In this case, you primarily have the option to add a new identification option or delete your account on the portal. At the end of the registration process, you can add Zoll-Ident and use it to log in quickly and easily.
After selecting the identification option, you will be redirected to the website of the respective provider. There you can see all the data that is transmitted to the Customs Portal. If this data is not up to date and you wish to change it, you will need to contact your registry office or the respective provider.
Once the data has been confirmed, you will automatically be redirected to the Customs Portal to continue registration.
You cannot create a citizen account with ELSTER if you have registered with ELSTER using
- e-mail,
- the option “for an organisation” with a tax number,
- or via the BZSt Online Portal (BOP).
You cannot create an account using BundID
- if you have registered with BundID using a username and password.
User account and personal data
Please complete your details here. Some fields cannot be changed, as this information is taken from the identification option used and linked to it. You will then be asked to verify your email address and check or enter your personal details (depending on the login option).
Zoll-Ident app
With the “Zoll-Ident” app, you can log in to the Customs Portal quickly and securely. After registering with ELSTER or your eID, you can use Zoll-Ident to log in at any time.
Further information about the Zoll-Ident app can be found here.
