Shipping to Switzerland from weclapp

Shipping to Switzerland from weclapp: customs documents in triplicate, values from the invoice, the carrier of your choice

For many weclapp merchants, Switzerland is the first non-EU country and with it the first contact with commercial invoices, customs tariff numbers and multiple print copies. Fulfillment 4 weclapp takes the mechanics off your hands: the customs data comes from the item and the invoice, the documents print in triplicate, and depending on the carrier the data travels electronically. Described honestly, including the limits: the carrier does the customs clearance itself, and you agree the Incoterm and duties with the carrier. Everything before that runs from weclapp.

What Switzerland requires of you

Commercial invoice per shipment: With goods description, quantity, value, country of origin and customs tariff number per line item. The invoice belongs on the outside of the parcel, in practice in several copies.
The recipient's UID: Swiss business customers are cleared via the company identification number (UID), not via an EORI number. You only need the EORI on the EU side for export.
Incoterm: For parcel shipping, delivery is usually duties unpaid (DAP), and the recipient pays import duties. Delivery duties paid (DDP) makes you the importer and is a matter of your agreement with the carrier.
Keep documents up to date: Swiss customs rules and tax rates change; check them with the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security, not on merchant sites.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

DAP or DDP, what does the app do?

For DHL and FedEx, the app transmits duties unpaid delivery (DAP) by default. There is no switch per sales order; you clarify DDP with your carrier contract.

Do I need an EORI number for Switzerland?

For export from the EU, yes; for import into Switzerland, the recipient's UID counts. You manage both with customs and with the carrier, not in the app.

Does triple printing also work for other countries?

Yes. The country list is freely configurable; you add Norway or the United Kingdom just like Switzerland.
