Customs in Dresden have stopped the import of electrical appliances that were being transported by truck from Turkey to Germany. The appliances - including refrigerators and freezers and machines for processing dough and meat - were destined for a company in Hesse, but had violated the provisions of the Product Safety Act, according to the main customs office in Dresden.
Appliances must be re-exported or destroyed
"In some cases, the necessary documentation was missing or the product labels did not meet the legal requirements," it said. The State Directorate of Saxony had checked this as the responsible inspection authority. As a result, the machines were not allowed to enter the European market. They would have to be re-exported or destroyed.
