Which documents are required?

COMPLETE CAR IMPORT PROCESSING

If we are allowed to organize the complete import of your car into Switzerland for you, we only need the CONFIRMATION OF ORDER and a COPY OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

Our import services of course also include correspondence with your car dealer to collect and prepare all documentation for the car import.

CUSTOMS DECLARATION ONLY

If we prepare the documents for the car import customs clearance for you, we need your order confirmation, a copy of the PURCHASE CONTRACT, the EC CONVENTION DECLARATION (COC), if applicable the AUTHORISATION and if applicable a CERTIFICATE OF FUTURE or EUR.1.

You can obtain the EG Declaration of Conformity and the foreign registration from your car dealer.

However, a certificate of origin or the EUR.1 is hardly issued anymore by the car manufacturer. But for safety’s sake, ask your car dealer for the documents.

Without a EUR.1 or certificate of origin, there is an additional weight duty at the Swiss border. The taxes amount to CHF 15 per 100Kg vehicle weight.

ONLY TRANSPORT

If we transport your car from abroad to Switzerland, we also carry out the Swiss import customs clearance.

For customs clearance we need the ORDER CONFIRMATION, COPY OF THE PURCHASE CONTRACT, EC CONVENTION DECLARATION (CoC) and, if applicable, a copy of the AUTHORISATION.

You will usually receive the EG declaration of conformity and the foreign registration from your vendor.
