Removals to Switzerland from the UK
Transport and customs documentation for a one-bedroom part load from the UK to Switzerland cost £2,534 – £3,401, and for a three-bedroom house £5,492 – £7,516. Packing, transit cover, stairs, parking or a furniture hoist at either end, and collection from beyond our free collection area are priced on top, from your own answers. Transit is 4–8 days door to door.
Switzerland sits outside the EU customs union, and that is the biggest difference on this route. Clearance uses Swiss Form 18.44 through an agent at Basel or Geneva, and costs more than an EU move. Alpine addresses may need a transfer to a smaller vehicle for the last stretch of the journey.
