Customs Officers in Schleswig-Holstein Boost Security in 2024

Customs officers in Schleswig-Holstein have played a crucial role in maintaining citizen security in 2024. They have conducted numerous inspections, leading to significant seizures and fines, while also ensuring the smooth flow of international trade.

Over 48,000 customs officers across Germany, including those in Schleswig-Holstein, have been diligently working to protect citizens and strengthen the economy. In 2024, they inspected thousands of shipments in international postal traffic, uncovering suspicious contents such as tranquilizers, counterfeit items, and unlicensed medications.

Mobile control units were deployed to inspect goods traffic, persons, vehicles, and containers. This resulted in numerous seizures, including drugs and ammunition. The Main Customs Offices in Kiel and Itzehoe, led by Eckhard Trede in Itzehoe, successfully achieved their set goals through these daily efforts.

In addition to these efforts, customs officers conducted around 7,000 inspections to combat black work and illegal employment. This resulted in over 5,000 proceedings and approximately 4.5 million euros in fines and penalties.

The customs service in Schleswig-Holstein has demonstrated its commitment to citizen security and economic stability in 2024. Through extensive mobile deployments, parcel post controls, and inspections, they have successfully intercepted illicit goods and enforced labor laws, contributing significantly to the region's safety and prosperity.
