Shipping from China to Switzerland
Switzerland is landlocked and outside the EU customs union: sea cargo arrives via Rotterdam/Antwerp (north) or Genoa (south) in about 32–42 days, then clears Swiss customs at the border or at inland terminals. Air freight lands in Zurich (ZRH) or Geneva (GVA) in 3–6 days.
Switzerland's import taxes are famously light: VAT at 8.1% (one of Europe's lowest) with duty by HS code, often low or zero on industrial goods. DDP shipping from China to Switzerland covers pickup, freight, the EU transit and Swiss clearance — one all-in price. WhatsApp us for today's rate.
