FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does air freight from USA to Switzerland take?
Direct air freight 1-2 days to Zurich (ZRH), Geneva (GVA), Basel EuroAirport (BSL). Express courier 24 hours door-to-door. Consolidated air 3-4 days. Charter flights: same-day possible. Swiss Customs (BAZG) clearance typically 1 day for standard shipments with complete documentation.
Air: USD $4.00-$7.00/kg on direct transatlantic flights. Express: $8-$15/kg for urgent cargo. Charter pricing on request. Swiss VAT 8.1% on customs value (lower than EU rates) plus Swiss import duties — often 0-3% on industrial goods, higher on agricultural products.
BAZG/FOCBS processes imports. Switzerland is NOT in the EU customs union — completely separate procedures. You need a Swiss UID number or customs client ID, HS classification, and customs declaration. Permits from Swissmedic (medicines), FSVO (food), METAS (measurement). Swiss VAT 8.1% collected at clearance.
Zurich Kloten (ZRH) — 70%+ of US-Switzerland air trade, primary financial/commercial hub. Geneva (GVA) — Francophone Switzerland, international organizations, luxury watchmaking. Basel EuroAirport (BSL/MLH) — tri-border Switzerland/France/Germany, pharma cluster. ExFreight delivers across all 26 cantons.
Yes — ExFreight specializes in luxury goods, watchmaking components, pharma, and high-security financial packages. Secure chain-of-custody, GDP-compliant temperature control, insurance for high-value cargo, and discreet delivery to Swiss banks, watchmakers, and pharma clusters.
Yes — significantly. Switzerland is NOT in the EU customs union. It has bilateral agreements with the EU and is part of EFTA. For US imports this means Swiss-specific customs procedures, Swiss VAT (not EU VAT), and Swiss-specific origin rules. No formal US-Switzerland FTA currently. ExFreight navigates this complexity.
Two options: (1) Direct transatlantic: JFK-ZRH 8-hour flight, total transit 24 hours door-to-door. (2) Via Frankfurt or Amsterdam EU hub, then truck or feeder: 2-3 days but requires EU-to-Swiss customs crossing. Direct saves time AND avoids double customs clearance.
Very limited — Switzerland rarely applies anti-dumping measures to US-origin goods. Occasional specific measures on select agricultural products. Rates: 10-30%. The Swiss Federal Office for Agriculture monitors specific categories. ExFreight flags known categories during quoting.
