Frequently asked questions

All parcels enter Switzerland our customs cleared them before they get processed for delivery depending on your traffic and profile.

We offer 3 solutions for customs clearance depending on your need.

Postal clearance is especially suitable for lower-value parcels. Each parcel will be customs cleared under the name of the shopper so no additional fee will be charged to you as the seller or your client. For everything over 63 CHF, all duties, VTA, and charges will be charged directly to the shopper.

The second one is commercial bulk clearance. Your parcels will all be customs cleared at once and all duties and VTA will be charged to you. This solution saves you the costs for higher quantities of high-value items and your customer happy as they will not have any extra cost.

The last one is commercial single clearance. Switzerland charges duty on weight and due to a duty-free limit of five Swiss francs lower weights can be imported free of duty. For this reason, your parcels will be cleared individually even if clearance costs are higher. Saving made on duties will mean that your overall costs are lower.

We take care of returns without comprehensive returns management service, including all related services around customs to get the products back to your warehouse. We guide you through Swiss customs regulations so can deliver with ease.
