Deliveries to Switzerland follow their own rules: digital customs declarations (the e-dec system, being modernised by the Swiss customs administration), the LSVA road charge for trucks and import charges that depend on the type of goods. These elements affect the time and cost of delivery, so we plan them in advance.
What to know
- e-dec, the electronic customs declarations in Switzerland. The customs administration is modernising its systems, so we confirm the details as they stand.
- LSVA, a truck charge based on distance, weight and emissions, added to the transport cost.
- Import charges, depending on the type and origin of the goods.
Why it affects the quote
Charges such as LSVA and any import duties are real cost items that do not exist on routes within the EU. We include them in planning so the quote is sound and you are not caught out. The exact amounts depend on the route and goods, so we confirm them individually.
How we work
We combine transport, customs and knowledge of CH specifics in one process, run by one responsible contact. We say plainly which elements affect cost and time.
