Export

1. Sign a Swiss Customs Export form 11.030 that many be filled in by HARSCH Transports. This documents has to be accompanied by a detailed list of items (in French, German or Italian). Document available at Harsch Transports.

   Remark for international officers or diplomats working with international organizations (UNO, WHO, CERN etc. or Consulates, Embassies etc.): the list of the household goods presented to Swiss Customs at the time of importation is kept by customs during five years. At time of exportation, the list of the exported items is checked against the list of importation. Every item which was listed on import must be listed on export whereby additional items may be exported. Swiss Customs tax and duty are payable on items which were imported but are not reexported during the five years period. T herefore Swiss Customs usually does not check whether the exporter has complied with them or not.
   

2. Announce his departure to the local town-hall and/or the Office of the Inhabitant (“Bureau-Contrôle de l’Habitant”).
   
   
3. Obtain from Swiss Income Tax Service the receipt of all unpaid taxes up to the date of departure.
   
   
4. If the place of living is rented, obtain from the landlord the authorization to leave (“Bon de sortie”).
   

The above steps 2, 3 & 4 are not Swiss Customs requirements, therefore Swiss Customs usually do not check whether the exporter has complied with them or not.
