Switzerland charges import VAT (8.1% standard rate, 2.6% reduced) and customs duty, which is calculated by weight for most goods. Small consignments where the VAT due would be CHF 5 or less are not charged VAT. Duties and taxes are not included in our shipping rates.
Extra charges apply to perfume. Lithium batteries, aerosols and liquids need special handling. Items banned by the carrier or by customs in Switzerland can't be shipped; see our FAQs for prohibited items or read how it works.
Delivery takes 3 to 15 days, depending on the carrier service you choose: DHL, FedEx, UPS or USPS, all with tracking. To ship to Switzerland from the US, request shipment in your dashboard; standard processing takes 4–5 working days after that. Customs charges in Switzerland are calculated on the declared value of your goods, usually together with shipping and insurance. As your freight forwarder from the USA to Switzerland, we handle parcels and larger boxes, a simple alternative to freight shipping from the USA to Switzerland. We deliver to Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern, Lausanne, Lucerne and Lugano.
