Anything New? Maybe a case of no news is good news. Just don't want to be caught with my pants down!

Nothing

Hi Everyone, I finally received a reply this morning but it’s as clear as mud! I’ve asked again exactly what current (known) procedure is!

Dear Mrs. Ginn,

We have a little disagreements at the moment with this topic (worse Luck!)
It is possible, that there will be a change in procedure the next time.

The problem is, until now we have no official statement from the Zoll or the ministry.
But it is to expect, that there will be a change in procedure the next time (but I really can not say when this will be…). This is currently under review.

So before we change the procedure, we will stay at the known procedure yet.

Best regards
Julia Henecker

I got the same one a few moments ago.

I also replied:

"Julia, thank you for your reply.
The last official notification I had, as noted earlier, was that there was NO PERMIT REQUIRED.
Shall I inform the hunting world of this?

Sounds like the same stuff Frankfurt city government tried a few years ago, about as clear now as it was then.

The reply in todays email:

"Yes, you can do!
Still there is no permit required.

When I get new information, I will inform you!

Best regards,
Julia."

Sometimes it pays to be stubborn and talk back.

Very happy to report that we just returned from SA. We transited Frankfurt both on our way to SA and again on our way back home when our trip was finished.. and had ZERO problems.. we even left the airport and went into the city for several hours (we had a 12 1/2 hour layover in Frankfurt on our way to SA) and had to go through customs and immigration there (with no bags).. no issues at all...

Getting through US customs when we returned to the US was a bigger ordeal (although also not really any problem.. we just got stuck waiting in a long, slow line to be cleared..)..
