Moving to Switzerland from Australia | Compare Shipping Quotes
Switzerland is one of Europe’s most sought-after destinations for Australians relocating internationally, high salaries, stunning landscapes, and a central European location. But moving to Switzerland from Australia involves more than booking a flight: sea freight takes 5 to 8 weeks, and Switzerland’s non-EU status means customs procedures are more involved than for standard European destinations. A specialist moving company makes the difference between a smooth clearance and a container stuck at the border.
Switzerland’s customs rules: what you need to know
- Switzerland is not an EU member: full customs declaration required for all household goods at the border
- Used household goods can be imported duty-free when relocating permanently to Switzerland: proof of residency change and a complete inventory are required
- Sea freight transit: approximately 5 to 8 weeks from Australian ports to European ports, then road delivery to Switzerland
- Most served destinations: Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern, Lausanne
