How to import household goods to Switzerland

Your household goods are eligible to be imported to Switzerland free of taxes and duty if you have owned them for at least six months and the items arrive within 2 years of your arrival in Switzerland. You are permitted to bring multiple shipments, but you must include all future shipments with your documentation for the first shipment.

Here are the documents you must have with you for customs clearance:

• Valid U.S. Passport
• Comprehensive, box-by-box inventory of your goods
• Swiss work and residence permits
• Declaration forms, including customs form 18.44

How to clear your goods through customs

Switzerland is a member of the European Union and is landlocked by other member nations. Since travel across the Swiss border by citizens from any of these countries is free and requires no paperwork, some border crossings are unstaffed entirely. For this reason, the Swiss government allows you to declare your items either verbally or in written form.

The Swiss government offers an app to make customs declarations easier. The QuickZoll app offers you comprehensive information about customs at a glance and you can even use the app to calculate customs duty and taxes.

• Verbal declarations
  At staffed border crossings, you will be asked to verbally declare your goods. This declaration is not in writing, but don’t be fooled. This verbal declaration is legally binding and enforceable.
• Written declarations
  At unstaffed border crossings, the Swiss government makes written forms available. You will need to complete these forms thoroughly.

How to import your vehicle to Switzerland

Your vehicle is eligible for import to Switzerland if it is fully paid for, and you have owned it at least six months. In addition, if you import your vehicle tax and customs duty free, you must promise not to sell, rent, lease, loan, or trade away that vehicle for at least a year after your arrival in Switzerland.

To import your vehicle, you will need to provide:

• Valid Passport
• Proof of Swiss vehicle insurance
• Proof of U.S. vehicle insurance
• Clean title
• S. registration
• Proof of residency in Switzerland
• Purchase invoice
• S. and International Driver’s License
