Can this car get in?
- • Who can import: Individuals and companies may import; declare with invoice, foreign registration and ID, then cantonal technical and registration approval
- • Switzerland is outside the EU; bonded transit through the EU does not trigger EU duty or countervailing duty
- • Customs clearance is not registration; a China-spec car needs individual technical approval
