Bringing cooked meat to Germany?
I know it is prohibited to bring meat or dairy products to Germany, but I wonder if bringing cooked meat would also be a problem? It is part of our curries and other material in the curry are beans and vegetables so the only problem is the cooked meat. Does anybody have any exact information?
Here is a link that gives information about fresh meat. But I don't know wether it applies for cooked meat or not?!

Best Answer
It depends if you enter Germany from an EU country or from a third country.
In the first case there is no problem as long as the meat is for personal consumption. This also applies for products from Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Andorra, and San Marino.
In the second case it is more difficult. Even if the meat is for personal consumption you have to go through a veterinary control. It does not matter if the meat is cooked or not.
Germany, just as all the other EU member states has to comply to the EU regulation 206/2009.

For Bio-security reasons,i.e. disease control, most countries will not allow any kind of meat to be brought in, even if it is cooked. I tried to bring some Swedish bear sausage in to S. Korea, customs took it. But, it might have something to do with bear being "good for man's power"
