When you're from another country than germany: bring along some delicious sample specialties of your homeland. It's quite interesting what different cultures unterstand to enjoy on their tables.

Edit: ..within the EU, of course. I knew I forgot something; thanks for reminding me, Cheetah.

If that country is not an EU country ... better do not. Import of foodstuffs into the EU is heavily regulated.

Are there any EU regulations about the import of swiss cheese?

What is of interest here is actually not EU regulations, but German customs regulations concerning imports of dairy products from non-EU countries. Usually, the import of dairy products from non-EU countries is not allowed (unless you pass them through the same veterinary inspection process as commercial imports, which is usually neither worth the amount of money nor the effort this costs). But in this case you're lucky. Switzerland, Andorra, Liechtenstein, Norway and San Marino are exempt from this rule.
