Other than generating money for the government, what's the purpose? Is it to promote buying within Germany? I don't really get it.
FDA BOC
Me neither. But it is definitely the money AND the promotion.
On the other hand they check if things are send in illegally (weapons, drugs). If you want to import things to the EU as a company you have to have a mark of conformity (EC in the EU and DoC in the US) wich is given by a department like the FCC and NRTL in the USA. If the product you want to import does not have this mark you are not allowed to import. So you get sure that the item is technically ok and does not harm people.
