Clearing your vehicle efficiently

On import into Switzerland, passenger cars are subject to 4% automobile tax and 8.1% VAT. The basis is your purchase contract: the net purchase amount is converted at the official daily rate of Swiss customs. Through CO2 Börse, you handle import and export declarations conveniently and digitally. The import declaration is sent to you electronically in advance – you need no cash at the border, and settlement is by invoice.
