Why a duty-free (bonded) warehouse in Switzerland?

  • Duty & VAT deferment: Keep working capital free by postponing duties and Einfuhrsteuer (import VAT) until release for local sale—or pay nothing when goods are re-exported.

  • Strategic location: Switzerland sits at the heart of Europe with world-class cross-border infrastructure (road/rail/air), ideal for import, customs clearance, and onward distribution.

  • Compliance & security: Our bonded storage (OZL / bonded warehouse) operates under customs supervision, with full audit trails, serial/lot tracking, and restricted access zones.

  • Flexible operations: Consolidate multi-country flows, split shipments, perform light handling (kitting, labeling, repacking) under customs control, and ship just-in-time.

  • Cost control: Optimize landed cost with correct HS code classification, origin management, preferential trade agreements, and T1/Common Transit where applicable.

FAQ

Is “duty-free” the same as a “bonded warehouse” in Switzerland?

In practice, yes: goods are stored under customs control; duties and VAT are deferred until release for local circulation or are not due on re-export.

Can we perform value-added work while in bond?

Yes—non-substantial handling such as kitting, labeling, repacking, and QA is possible under customs supervision. We’ll advise what’s permitted for your HS codes and program.

Do I need a Swiss entity?

Not necessarily. Depending on your sales model and lanes, Importer of Record / fiscal solutions can be arranged through licensed partners after compliance review.

Which Incoterms work best?

Common options are DAP/DDP for Swiss deliveries and FCA/EXW for re-exports. We align Incoterms with your duty/VAT strategy and service levels.
