- Remarks: Nicht / Not AVBL. Anmerkung: Helgoland gehört nicht zum Zollgebiet der EU. Zollrechtlich handelt es sich damit bei jedem Flug von der Insel um eine Reise aus einem Nicht-EU-Staat. Daher gelten bei Flügen von Helgoland zu anderen nationalen und internationalen Flugplätzen die ent- sprechenden zollrechtlichen Bestimmungen bzw. muss nach der Landung auch auf nationalen Flugplätzen mit entsprechenden Kontrollen gerechnet werden. siehe auch: www.helgoland.de/service/zollbestimmungenHelgoland Note: Helgoland is nOT part of the customs territory of the EU. Under customs legislation, each flight from the island is viewed as a trip from a non-EU State. Therefore, the relevant customs regulations apply to flights from Helgoland to other national and international aerodromes and, after landing, the corresponding checks must be expected, even at national aerodromes.
