Was tatsächlich zu erwarten ist

EXTREMELY REMOTE, logistics are the main challenge, not customs bureaucracy. Only accessible by air and sea (no roads connecting settlements). Royal Arctic Line is the main cargo carrier. Air freight via Air Greenland. No international courier services to most towns (DHL only to Nuuk). Postal mail via PostNord can take 2-6 weeks. Climate causes seasonal shipping restrictions. Import duties are low but alcohol and tobacco heavily taxed. Population of ~57,000 across vast territory.
