IT hardware transport to and from Switzerland
Switzerland is not an EU member. IT hardware is exported and imported at the border – including returns that go to a remarketer in Germany. On top come night and Sunday driving bans for trucks.
What matters
- Customs in both directions
- Returns from Switzerland also need export and import declarations.
- Driving bans
- Night and Sunday driving bans for trucks shape the schedule.
- Used devices
- How used devices are treated for customs is clarified by your customs agent.
- Documents
- Commercial or pro-forma invoice and packing list should match the quantity.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Who is the shipper or consignee in Switzerland?
