QuickZoll App
QuickZoll is an app provided by the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security for the importation of personal goods. The app allows you to declare your goods before you bring them into the country and to pay any customs fees directly. The goods cleared for import using QuickZoll can then be brought into Switzerland at any border crossing.
You can download the QuickZoll app to your mobile phone free of charge and do not need to register to use it.
Verbal customs declaration
If there are customs officials stationed at the Swiss border crossing, you need to spontaneously declare the goods you are carrying. In airports choose the red exit to declare your goods.
If you are travelling by rail, you can make a verbal declaration to a customs official on the train. If there are no customs officials on the train, you can declare your goods at any customs office during business hours within seven days of your arrival in Switzerland.
Written self-declaration
If you enter the country at an unmanned border crossing, you can fill out a self-declaration form. These forms are available in the declaration box. However, this option is not available for declaring goods that are to be sold or traded.
