Swiss import customs clearance

Based on your commercial invoice, we prepare the import declaration of the goods for you at the offices of the Federal Customs Office in Basel (border France/Switzerland and Germany/Switzerland). Customs clearance at other customs offices is also possible.

After this declaration, you will either receive a document justifying your import at federal level or you can download it directly if you have a customs account (CSP).

Import of vehicles

On the basis of a commercial invoice and a copy of the vehicle registration card, we will be able to import your vehicles into Switzerland using the appropriate form.
