A BAZG intervention case is a specific situation in which the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (BAZG) actively intervenes in a border or customs process – because there are grounds to suspect a legal violation, a security risk has been identified, or customs and border protection rules appear to have been breached. In such a case, the office may detain goods for thorough inspection, halt exports, open an investigation, or involve other authorities. The type and intensity of the measure depend on the severity of the actual or suspected infringement and the applicable legal basis. For freight forwarders and shippers, an intervention case typically means a transport delay and increased documentation and communication requirements. In digitalised goods traffic, an intervention case is often triggered by risk selection in the Passar system (activation of the goods or transport declaration); related terms include BAZG risk analysis and physical inspection (Beschau).
