Car shipping to Switzerland
We ship vehicles to Switzerland — RoRo or container
Switzerland is one of the destinations we move cars to regularly, through the Port of Rotterdam. We recommend the most economical method for your car’s value and the arrival port, and prepare the entry documents before departure, not after the vehicle arrives.
- RoRo: The vehicle drives on by its own wheels — the most economical for used cars.
- Container: Secured with four straps and chocks under the tyres — more protective for luxury and classic cars.
- Triptyque: Temporary-entry procedures and release documents ready before shipping.
About this route
What sets shipping to Switzerland apart
What its customs look at
Switzerland has its own customs: a duty on the car worked out on its weight, an automobile tax and VAT. The belongings and car of someone moving there to live enter exempt, with a specific form and a condition of prior ownership. Technical specifications and emissions are checked closely.
What we ship there most
- Relocation furniture
- Luxury cars
- Collectibles and antiques
- Commercial goods
A tip from experience
The shipment crosses the European Union before Switzerland. The right transit document prevents paying duties twice.
