Federal Finance Directorate
The Bundesfinanzdirektion (BFD) were 2008-2015 German federal funding agencies with responsibility to the Federal Ministry of Finance . On January 1, 2016, they were replaced by the newly established General Customs Directorate.
history
After the amendment to the Finance Administration Act , the Federal Finance Directorates replaced the federal departments of the previous regional finance directorates on January 1, 2008. This organizational change was based on the results of the Customs Structural Development Project . When the law on the reorganization of the customs administration came into force , the Federal Finance Directorates were dissolved on January 1, 2016 and the General Customs Directorate was introduced as the new higher federal authority. The previous locations of the BFDs were retained as branch offices of the General Customs Directorate.
