Full Details
Initial classification only — pending editorial verification. Fresh Fruit sent to Switzerland typically requires an accurate customs declaration on the CN22 / CN23 label, may attract duty + VAT above the personal-import threshold, and in some cases needs a permit (medication / food / cultural property). Mailers should consult Federal Customs Administration (Eidgenössische Zollverwaltung — EZV / Office fédéral de la douane et de la sécurité des frontières — BAZG) for the current parcel rule and threshold values.
Declare the contents accurately on the CN22 / CN23 label. Federal Customs Administration (Eidgenössische Zollverwaltung — EZV / Office fédéral de la douane et de la sécurité des frontières — BAZG) computes duty + VAT above the destination's de-minimis threshold. Keep purchase receipts available in case the consignee receives a clearance notice.
Swiss Post and customs assess international parcels. Swiss VAT applies to goods imported above the de minimis threshold. Items above CHF 1,000 require a formal customs declaration. Prohibited items are seized. Switzerland's high purchasing power and low VAT rate make it a significant e-commerce import market.
