Matters needing attention in studying in Germany:

The German government attaches great importance to aviation safety. International students are not allowed to carry any weapons, including knives, guns or other sharp weapons on the plane. If international students carry these items for any reason, they should also check them together in large luggage before boarding, otherwise they may be detained by German customs.

German Customs stipulates that passengers from non-EU countries can only carry personal daily necessities with a value of no more than 58.8 euros when entering the country, otherwise they will be taxed. However, this rule is difficult to implement, because German customs can't determine the value of each item, and at this point, international students can flexibly master their luggage contents.

The German government also has different tax exemption regulations for special products such as cigarettes and alcohol:
