Customs between Switzerland and the EU

Switzerland is not part of the EU customs union, so goods moving from Switzerland to an EU country are exported from Switzerland and imported into the EU. Every shipment needs an export declaration on the Swiss side and transit or import formalities on the EU side.

We prepare the documents together with the transport, so the truck crosses the border without waiting.

Our options from Switzerland

  • Full truckload from any Swiss address to the EU
  • Groupage for pallets and smaller shipments
  • T1 transit to the customs office near the receiver
  • Import clearance at the destination on request

Typical cargo

  • Machinery, equipment and spare parts
  • Industrial and consumer goods on pallets
  • Stock for EU warehouses and distribution centres

Frequently asked questions

Do goods from Switzerland need customs clearance in the EU?

Yes. Switzerland is outside the EU customs union, so goods need an export declaration in Switzerland and transit or import documents in the EU.

Can the goods be cleared near the receiver?

Yes. With a T1 transit declaration the goods travel under customs control and are cleared at the customs office of destination.

Do you take groupage from Switzerland?

Yes. Pallets and smaller shipments travel as groupage, and you pay only for the space they take.
