What does Zollabfertigung mean in Deutsche Post tracking?
Zollabfertigung means the item is in customs clearance in the destination country. Customs is assessing whether duty or VAT applies, and the wait is on the customs side rather than the carrier. Once it shows "Zoll erledigt" (customs cleared), the item is released to the local postal operator for delivery.
