Tim Tim May 17, 2024

Swiss customs can import tax-free household items for moving houses, but only if your items have been used for more than half a year, and Swiss customs stipulates that the import of personal items must be carried out within one year of your residence in Switzerland.

 

Swiss Customs Clearance Documents for Private Goods:

 

 1. Copy of certificate

 2. English version packing list (Packing List)

 3. Bill of Lading

 4. Swiss Customs form 18.44 form

 5. Lease agreement or real estate certificate of Swiss residential address

 The accompanying documents for express delivery to Switzerland are: 1 international delivery receipt and 1 customs declaration (2 copies are required for precious metals, watches and jewelry).

Swiss Tariff Policy:

 

Switzerland's tax system has obvious federal characteristics, and the federation, states and towns all have the power to levy taxes. Except for the taxes that are expressly prohibited in the Federal Constitution or reserved by the Federation, the states, as independent federal members, enjoy autonomy in taxation. Each of Switzerland's 26 cantons has its own tax laws and formulates its own tax rate tables and tax exemption methods.

 

Value-added tax: The standard value-added tax rate in Switzerland is 7.5%, which is the lowest value-added tax rate in Europe; the value-added tax rate for daily necessities such as food, non-alcoholic beverages, medicines, books, newspapers and periodicals is 2.3%.
