Shipping Restrictions

When sending any parcel abroad, it is important that you make yourself aware of all the rules and regulations, including shipping restrictions for your destination country. While some countries have very lax rules regarding what you can and cannot send, others are stricter and it is important to be aware of these restrictions before sending anything abroad.

Prohibited Products

RAND Logistics can provide some advice concerning prohibited or restricted products, however, it is always best if you refer to the Swiss Post website where required. Prohibited products when sending parcels to Switzerland include vegetable products, live trees and other plants, bulbs, cut flowers and ornamental foliage inclusive as well as potatoes of non-European origin.

Other items that are prohibited include beverages, spirits, vinegar, absinthe and all imitations, explosives, pyrotechnic products, and propaganda material likely to endanger either the internal or external security of the State. Miniature wireless transmitters, otherwise known as 'mini-spies' are prohibited by Switzerland's country mailing conditions, as are radar detectors. If they are found within a package, they will be confiscated and handed over to the relevant authority.

Restricted Products

All products listed below are permitted only with the relevant documentation, including an import licence issued by the Federal Veterinary Office, CH?3087 LIEBEFELD (Telefax (+41 31) 970 85 22)

Restricted items for delivery to Switzerland include live animals such as bees, amphibians, crustaceans, mammals (except domestic cats, guinea pigs, golden hamsters and mice and rats intended for use in laboratories or as food). Animal products and raw products including skins, bristles, antlers, claws and bones from all African and Asian countries are also restricted.

The import of birds (excluding canaries), fish (excluding ornamental fish) and reptiles is also restricted. Domesticated cats must include a veterinary certificate documenting that the animals were vaccinated against rabies at least 30 days in advance before crossing the frontier, and live carrier pigeons are permitted for import only if a special licence is carried (Federal Army Communications Office, CH?3003 BERNE, and of the Federal Veterinary Office, CH?3097 LIEBEFELD.)

When sending parcels to Switzerland, it is important that an invoice in duplicate is provided for all personal shipments valued at $300 or more, and for all commercial shipments regardless of value. These invoices can be affixed to the outside of the parcel, or they can be enclosed with the PS Form 2976-E with the customs declaration. If you have any queries or concerns, it is recommended that you contact your local Customer Service Advisor to receive more detailed information on shipping restrictions.
