What is specific to Switzerland
Coverage in Switzerland
Zurich, Geneva, Basel and Bern and every other city and town on the same FedEx and DHL network; the box is delivered to the address in your account. Write the street, building number and postcode exactly as you would locally — that is what the courier relies on at the door.
Customs and tax in Switzerland
Switzerland is outside the EU and has some of Europe’s simplest rules: customs duty on industrial goods (clothing, electronics, footwear and more) was abolished on 1 January 2024, leaving only 8.1% VAT — which is not collected at all when it comes to CHF 5 or less (a parcel worth about CHF 62 or less including shipping). The carrier collects the tax before delivery with a handling fee: FedEx charges 2.5% with a CHF 25 minimum. We prepare the clearance paperwork free of charge, and your purchase invoice travels with the shipment from the moment it leaves.
ID and billing
No tax number or ID is requested for personal parcels. Your invoice is in US dollars exactly as the calculator shows, and your card converts from Swiss franc at your bank’s rate; nothing is added after payment.
