Uniform Identification Needed Please

Can anyone ID this uniform? The man was from the German state of Hesse. I thought maybe Finland but he has no known connection to Finland.

Thanks

Jim

Members of Zoll, Customs are wearing these collar patches.
Second picture have a "Zollbetriebassistent" collar rank insignia.

Yes, Zolldienst. The collar patches and cap eagle with up swept wing tips are the giveaway. Also, RFV for Reichsfinanzverwaltung on shoulder straps.
