@trap15: don't underestimate german customs.

When you import a hardcore DVD and the shipment gets opened in FFM for a customs check, it gets seized and you get reported to the public prosector (but it get suspended later on). If you have the parcel labeled in a way that it gets taken directly to your local customs office, it's no problem. You'll get it if they see that you're 18+ years old. Same goes for Anime, Hentai or Ecchi games like this one.

If the the covers or the shots on the back get VERY explicit and the girls are VERY young, you might be looking at confiscation and a lawsuit for acquiring child or youth pornography. Here laws are kinda blurry right now. On the one hand, even adult porn with girls looking as if they could THEORETICALLY be underage, is critical and subject to prosecution, on the other hand jurisdiction got softer on child and youth pornography in "fiction" as you can read here http://www.lawblog.de/index.php/archive ... che-texte/

Your best choice is using a courier like Fedex, UPS or DHL....

they will most likely extract the game code and censor out any juicy bits.. put it all back together and ship it to you with a big invoice for their time.

i guess i ask the seller to ship each game i buy seperately, so customs definetely wont hold the package.

that alone won't help, unless you're having experience with that particular seller. there will have to be an invoice stuck to the outside of the parcel so they can check for the value of the goods.
and even then there's no guarantee that you'll be safe. i've had a parcel arrive once that was opened and checked by customs anyways

So if someone shipped you a game with "Erotic Material" marked on the cover it would be a bad thing? Good thing you don't hang on NG.com.

Sometimes I wonder why I don't visit this forum much anymore.

Sometimes it makes perfect sense.

I once ordered some rather unusual sex toys from the US. Needless to say, the package ended up at customs and I was asked to pick it up at their offices. You should've seen the look in the middle aged female clerk's eyes when they opened the box to check the contents. :mrgreen:

To answer OPs question:
Die Einfuhr zwecks Verbreitung unsittlicher pornografischer Publikationen, Bilder, Filme und Videofilme ist untersagt. Diese Vorschrift gilt nicht für private Einfuhren für den privaten Bedarf. Es ist der Polizei vorbehalten zu entscheiden, ob diese pornografischen Gegenstände unzulässig sind oder nicht.

You should be fine as long as it is not loli material.

yeah, but technically this means private to private without a sale. Anything eBay related is commerce and it will get confiscated (if it's opened).

It hurts to see everyone talk up nem's entries only to have them be gone.

Am I to understand that the boy in that picture is CIT?
