Cultural Tip
In German business communication a formal tone is preferred, especially when dealing with customs or legal matters. Mentioning ‘Versandbeschränkungen’ signals that you are aware of EU and German regulations such as the Gefahrgutverordnung (hazardous goods regulation) and the restrictions on alcohol, tobacco, and certain chemicals. Be ready to specify the exact product categories, as German authorities are very precise.
