FAQs

‍

Q. How much does it cost to move to Switzerland?

A. Price depends on volume, access (many Swiss streets are narrow), and customs status. Request a free survey for an exact quote.

‍

Q. Will I pay customs duty or VAT?

A. Personal effects older than six months are duty-free with a completed “Declaration for Household Goods” form. We prepare the paperwork for you.

‍

Q. Can you obtain a laissez-passer for Sunday delivery?

A. Yes, we arrange special permits when deliveries fall on Swiss driving-ban days.

‍

Q. Can I pack myself?

A. You can, but customs will ask to open self-packed cartons, and insurance is limited. Professionally packed boxes speed clearance and give full cover.

‍

Q. When should I book?

A. Ideally four weeks ahead, especially if you need an elevator hoist in city centres.

‍

Q. What if my Swiss address isn’t ready?

A. We can store goods in Naas or Basel until you receive keys. Learn more about storage here.
