German term or phrase: Zoll (in this case)
I am translating a file with entries such as Zoll Photo 01, Zoll Photo 02, the number increasing sequentially but the subject (e.g. photo) changing. It also includes

Zoll Photo 18 - Koffer Alumin
Zoll P19 - Kisten Kunststoff
Zoll Video 20
Zoll P37 - Taschen lt. Zollamt
Zoll Video 39 - Interface
Zoll Photo 40 - Taschen

A couple of entries contain no number, e.g.
Zoll TV Hartschalenkoffer

Am wondering if this could be a list of items on which duty has been paid? This would make sense in the context of Video camera, Photographic camera, Digital camera.

Also, if I am right in saying that this would be Duty (severe character restrictions by the way), I would appreciate suggestions for the translation of the word Taschen here! (Taschen = bags here).

Any help at all greatly appreciated!

Explanation:
They're probably talking Zoll as in Zollbehörde, rather than tariff or duty.
