Notification of posting to customs
Required before starting work – to ensure you get paid
When working on German construction sites, the posting notification must generally be submitted to customs in advance. It indicates the deployment of foreign companies and skilled workers and ensures that all legal requirements are met.
Correct, timely reporting is crucial
If the posting notification is missing or incomplete, there is a risk of construction stoppages, fines, and, in practice, frequent withholding of payments by clients.
What is displayed with the posting notification?
The message contains, among other things:
Company details and contact person
Place and period of deployment
Scope of activities on the construction site
employees assigned
Confirmation of Compliance with the Minimum Wage
It must be submitted electronically to customs before work begins.

Important information about the construction site
No assignment without a posting notification! Additionally , depending on the assignment, other documents must be kept on hand (e.g., identification documents, A1 certificates, assignment logs, and proof of minimum wage, contracts, or insurance).
In practice, missing or incomplete documentation quickly leads to follow-up inquiries and significant additional work—and can even result in service interruptions, withheld payments, or fines.
We ensure that all necessary documentation is available in a structured manner and readily accessible at all times.
