The Education and Science Center of the Federal Finance Administration (BWZ) is responsible within the German customs administration for training, preparation of customs tariff reports, examination of samples from customs offices, knowledge management and the further development of internal control instruments.

Since January 1, 2016, following a restructuring of the Federal Customs Administration, it has been incorporated into the newly established General Customs Directorate as Directorate IX .

The BWZ had already been merged from various previously independent departments as part of the structural development project of the customs administration (PSZ) and has since been directly subordinate to the Federal Ministry of Finance . With the restructuring at that time, the former designations ZLA (Zolllehranstalt) and ZPLA (Zolltechnische Prüfungs- und Lehranstalt) were for offices for decentralized training and further education, preparation of customs tariff reports and the examination of samples as well as the former designation BZ (education center) for offices for central training - and no further training.
