Moving from Finland to Switzerland — Zürich and beyond
Switzerland is outside the EU customs territory, so a move there needs customs documents. We handle them for you, and the calculator adds the customs costs to the price automatically. We also move people from Switzerland to Finland and to other European countries.
- Own fleet: 32 m³ van & trailer and 20 m³ box truck
- Customs documents handled for you
Customs clearance handled
Your household goods are cleared through customs at the Swiss border. Used household effects can usually be imported duty-free when you move to Switzerland to live, but you need an inventory list and a customs declaration. We handle the paperwork as a separate service — its cost is included in the examples.
