Car accessories wholesale for Switzerland
GaragiQ supplies car accessories and garage equipment wholesale to Switzerland: Swiss accessory shops, garages, tyre shops, detailing studios, online sellers and fleets receive goods from Poland with EU export documents, typically 4–6 days plus customs, and Swiss import VAT of 8.1 % charged at entry. Switzerland is outside the EU, so goods leave the EU with export documents and enter with Swiss customs clearance.
We invoice without EU VAT, prepare the export declaration, invoice and packing list in Poland and deliver to you or your customs broker; Swiss import VAT and any clearance costs are paid by the buyer. Instructions are in the language of the region where the product is used.

Supplying car accessories to Switzerland: the practical facts
| Topic | What applies |
|---|---|
| Delivery from Poland | Typically 4–6 working days by road, plus time for export and Swiss import clearance |
| Label and instructions | The EU GPSR does not apply in Switzerland; under Swiss product safety rules, instructions and warnings are written in the official language of the region where the product is likely to be used: German, French or Italian |
| VAT | Export from the EU without EU VAT; Swiss import VAT at the standard rate of 8.1 % (since 1 January 2024) is charged on import |
| Customs | Swiss customs clearance with an export declaration from the EU and our invoice; Switzerland abolished import duties on industrial goods from 2024, but clearance and import VAT remain |
| Electrical products and machinery | Switzerland has its own conformity rules; under its agreements with the EU an EU declaration of conformity is generally accepted for electrical equipment and machinery, and we check the documents per product |
| Electronics and batteries | Swiss take-back is financed through advance recycling fees rather than EU WEEE registrations; separate schemes cover electrical equipment and batteries, and we check which applies to your range |
| Marketplaces | Galaxus, Ricardo, Brack |
A summary for planning, not legal advice. Incoterms are agreed per order; the buyer is the importer of record and handles Swiss clearance directly or through a customs agent.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge Polish VAT to Swiss companies?
No. The sale is an export from the EU, so our invoice is without EU VAT. Swiss import VAT of 8.1 % is charged when the goods enter Switzerland.
Who clears the goods through Swiss customs?
You, as the importer, or your customs broker. We prepare the EU export declaration, invoice and packing list and deliver to you or your broker; Swiss import VAT and any clearance costs are paid by the buyer. We do not offer DDP delivery to Switzerland.
Are there import duties on car accessories and tools?
No duties on industrial goods: Switzerland abolished them from 1 January 2024. Import VAT and clearance costs still apply, and electronics and batteries carry advance recycling fees.
Are EU CE documents accepted in Switzerland?
Generally yes: for electrical products and machinery, an EU declaration of conformity is generally accepted under the agreements between Switzerland and the EU. We request the manufacturer's documents per model and check them for Swiss use.
Which languages do the instructions need?
The official language of the region where the product is likely to be used. For a national range we print German, French and Italian on one label or in one manual.
