Donations to refugees
Giving used personal belongings or items bought at U.S. forces sales facilities to people who are not eligible for customs exemption under the NATO Status of Forces Agreement for Germany is subject to certain restrictions. However, customs experts say U.S. forces personnel and organizations in Germany can donate food, clothing and children’s toys to refugees without any restrictions based on an exception granted by German customs authorities. Those items can be donated either directly to a refugee or to organizations that collect items for refugees, such as the Red Cross, without the requirement to effect customs clearance. Coordination with German customs or U.S. military customs offices is not necessary as no taxes would need to be paid. Items bought in German stores are taxed by German authorities so can be donated to any charitable organization without restriction.
