There is a sticker yes, and a folded page in a plastic bag attached to the package.
Whatever you want to call that piece of paper, the customs officer referred to as an invoice and use it to calculate the taxes I paid.

Besides, it says right on top of it: COMMERCIAL INVOICE.

I am curious, what made you think that there is no commercial invoice outside or inside the package ?

Whoops. Okay, maybe I'll have to take a close look at the package again this afternoon.

In the German BFL forum some people said the shipment came without invoice, so I expected the same. Even more so as my order was removed from my account page after shipping and I could not print an invoice myself.

Would it be too much to ask you to provide the gist of the German-thread, or, even explain what "it" refers to above?
Avalon shipped 900 units and they were clever enough to have the right wording on the commercial invoice.
BFL does not even provide a commercial invoice outside or inside the package. That practically guarantees that orders are held up in Germany, and customs at least want you to bring in an invoice or transaction documents like a Paypal printout or something. Noone in Germany will have their ASICs delivered to their doorstep because of this.
They do provide the invoice outside the package.
The sticker on the outside is just a customs declaration and not sufficient for german customs to calculate tax. Shipping costs, for example, are not shown on the declaration.

After 10 months of waiting I finally got a BFL "Jalapeno" ASIC that is supposed to work with 4.5 + 2 GH/s. Currently, it hashes away with 7.6 GH/s. It's pretty noisy, though. I already took off the case and will replace the cheap fan with a NOCTUA one. Pretty exciting. At the current difficulty I will have my first mined BTC after about a week.
