Germany’s Jewelry Industry and Sourcing Environment

Germany has established jewelry-related business centers with different areas of specialization. These locations provide useful market context for jewelry manufacturers working with German businesses.

Pforzheim: Jewelry and Precious Metal Manufacturing

Pforzheim has a long-standing connection with jewelry production, precious metal processing, watchmaking, and silverware. The city is particularly relevant to businesses involved in jewelry manufacturing, design, and specialist retail.

Idar-Oberstein: Gemstones and Jewelry

Idar-Oberstein is known for gemstone cutting, polishing, processing, and trading. Its industry background makes it relevant to jewelry businesses working with gemstones, decorative components, and gemstone-related product development.

Munich: Jewelry Trade and Industry Networking

Munich hosts INHORGENTA, an international trade fair covering jewelry, watches, and gemstones.

The event connects manufacturers, brands, retailers, designers, gemstone suppliers, and other industry businesses. INHORGENTA 2027 is scheduled for 19–22 February 2027.

Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne and Düsseldorf

Berlin has a diverse market for independent designers, fashion labels, and online businesses. Hamburg connects jewelry businesses with international trade and retail activities.

Cologne and Düsseldorf provide additional commercial environments for fashion retailers, jewelry businesses, and distributors. These markets offer opportunities for different types of custom jewelry collections.

Jewelry Import Compliance in Germany

Importers and businesses selling jewelry in Germany should review applicable EU and German requirements before placing products on the market. Material composition, product design, packaging, and the importer’s role all influence compliance responsibilities.

REACH and Restricted Substances

EU REACH requirements affect certain substances used in jewelry and consumer products.

Relevant considerations include:

  • Nickel release from applicable jewelry components
  • Lead content in relevant materials
  • Cadmium restrictions for applicable metal parts
  • Coatings and surface treatments
  • Material information and supporting test reports

Buyers should confirm material specifications and assess applicable restrictions before importing products.

General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)

The EU General Product Safety Regulation has applied since 13 December 2024.

German businesses should consider product identification, traceability, safety information, technical documentation, and the responsibilities of manufacturers and importers.

The specific requirements depend on the product and the role of each business in the supply chain.

German Packaging Act and LUCID

Germany’s Packaging Act (VerpackG) establishes obligations for businesses that first place certain packaging on the German market.

Depending on the packaging and commercial arrangement, responsible businesses may need to:

  • Register with the LUCID Packaging Register
  • Participate in an applicable packaging recovery system
  • Report relevant packaging information
  • Review their responsibilities for product and shipping packaging

Importers and brand owners should determine which party first places the packaging on the German market and confirm the applicable requirements.

Commercial shipments from China to Germany require appropriate customs classification and import documentation.

Key considerations include:

  • HS Code and product classification
  • Customs value
  • Country of origin
  • Applicable customs duty
  • Import VAT
  • Commercial invoices and packing information

Germany generally applies a standard VAT rate of 19%. The actual customs duty and tax treatment depend on the product and transaction details. Importers should confirm the applicable rates with their customs broker or tax adviser.

Express services suit samples and smaller shipments that require relatively fast transportation. Buyers should compare carrier options, delivery estimates, shipping charges, and customs arrangements.

Air freight offers an option for commercial orders when delivery time is an important consideration. Cargo volume, handling costs, freight rates, and destination arrangements influence the final quotation.

Sea Freight

Sea freight can suit larger orders with more flexible delivery schedules. The overall plan should include export handling, ocean transit, customs clearance, and final delivery.

German Import and Delivery Gateways

Hamburg is one of Germany’s major international maritime gateways. Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven also play roles in German maritime logistics.

The actual route depends on the freight provider, shipment arrangements, cargo requirements, and final delivery address. Buyers should confirm the transport method and customs arrangements before shipment.

Commercial Terms and Payment Arrangements

International B2B jewelry orders require clear quotations and agreed payment conditions. Buyers and suppliers should confirm the transaction currency, deposit, balance payment, and applicable bank or service charges.

T/T Bank Transfer

A commonly used payment method for international commercial transactions.

EUR Bank Transfer

Euro-denominated transfers may suit orders where both parties agree to settle payments in EUR.
