Switzerland

Shipments to Switzerland should be handled as business import and cleared using Global-e’s ZAZ account. It is important for the merchant / 3PL to confirm whether the selected carriers into Switzerland support delivery as Business Import, as not all carriers accommodate this model and whether they can clear goods with a ZAZ account. The invoice’s sold-to party (not the consignee) must be Global-E’s name and include Global-E’s local VAT registration number. Terms of Delivery to be decided with carrier.
Global-e’s ZAZ account number must NOT be displayed on the Commercial Invoices. Also, only the taxes applicable to the clearance into Switzerland should be billed against Global-e’s ZAZ account. Any other fee charged by the carrier in relation to the clearance should be billed to the Shipper of Record (brand / 3PL) and NOT Global-e’s ZAZ account.
