Procedure details

If you want to transport beer, tobacco products, energy products, alcohol and alcoholic goods or sparkling wine or sparkling wine intermediate products, for example, within Germany or to another European member state under duty suspension, you need a special permit. In addition, you must register to participate in the computerised Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS). The various transport steps are recorded in this system.

Your data, for example your tax number or your tax identification number (tax ID), is stored in the EMCS for this purpose.

If you want to have a new tax number or tax ID entered in the master data or if you want to change the entry, you must submit an application for this to the Master Data Management of the Directorate General of Customs.
