How long does a removal to Switzerland take?
Transit to Switzerland is typically 4–8 days door to door. We run fortnightly, both directions via Eurotunnel then E17/E25 through France, entering at Basel or Geneva. Part loads add a short consolidation wait; a dedicated vehicle travels direct.
What customs paperwork do I need for Switzerland?
Switzerland is not in the EU. You need Swiss customs Form 18.44 (Effets de déménagement), a signed valued inventory in duplicate, a residence permit or confirmation of application, and a rental contract. Clearance is handled by our Swiss agent at Basel or Geneva.
Can you move just a few items to Switzerland?
Yes. Small consignments travel as part loads on our scheduled Switzerland runs, from around £901 for roughly 5 m³ (177 ft³) — about a small van's worth of furniture and boxes.
