Customs stops failed purchase: mini excavators are destroyed!

Aachen, Deutschland - customs officials in Düren stopped the import of a mini excavator and destroyed the construction machine under customs supervision after serious security concerns occurred. The buyer, a man from the district of Düren, had ordered the device online from a Chinese dealer. In the absence of necessary documents and poor machine identification, the tax collectors consulted the district government of Cologne, which has confirmed the concerns.

Instead of a prescribed declaration of conformity, the buyer was only able to present a confirmation of a Turkish service provider. German operating instructions were missing, while the labels were insufficient. Ultimately, the handyman remained no choice but to destroy the excavator - a decision that financially burdened him and caused a four -digit loss. He not only had to bear the purchase price, but also transport and extermination costs after his supposed bargain now ended in the Schredder.
