You only get the foreign VAT back if it is shown on the invoice and the export is documented.

Add it and we’ll show how much you save.

Age and mileage

Month and year, as on the registration document.

CO2 and weight

Combined WLTP figure; for plug-in hybrids the weighted figure. Item 49 on the certificate of conformity (CoC).

Mass in running order, item 13 on the CoC.

With a CoC, the inspection is cheaper in many cantons.

Our services
Customs clearance

We file the customs declaration, settle automobile tax and VAT with customs and record the car in the CO2 import portal. Fixed price.

We book the vehicle inspection (MFK), collect the Swiss plates and sort out the insurance certificate. The canton’s fees are listed separately. Fixed price.

Canton

Registration costs in every canton

One-off fees for an imported car. Cantons with complete data come first, then by known fees. The annual road tax comes on top, and each canton calculates it differently.
