International Removals to Switzerland

Planning a move to Switzerland? Just Move provides professional international removals from Ireland to Switzerland, managing every stage of your relocation—from expert packing and transport to full customs clearance and delivery.

Switzerland is not part of the EU, and moving there requires strict customs compliance. Choosing an experienced relocation partner is essential to ensure your move proceeds smoothly and without delays.


A Specialist Destination – Why Switzerland Is Different

Unlike standard European moves, Switzerland requires formal customs clearance at the border, with strict documentation procedures.

Incorrect or incomplete paperwork can result in:

  • Delays at customs
  • Additional charges
  • Refusal of entry for your shipment

At Just Move, we ensure all documentation is correctly prepared and managed in advance.


Key Customs Requirements for Switzerland

Moving household goods to Switzerland involves detailed documentation and strict compliance.

Required Documents Include:

  • Completed Swiss Customs Form 18.44
  • Must be completed correctly
  • Must be signed in blue ink (not black)
  • The original document must be carried by the driver and presented at the border
  • Valid passport
  • Swiss residency permit or confirmation of registration
  • Proof of residence (lease agreement or property ownership)
  • Detailed and accurate inventory list

Cultural Property Declaration

Clients must also complete and sign a cultural property declaration, confirming whether items such as:

  • Artwork
  • Antiques
  • Collectables
  • Photographs

are included in the shipment.

This must match the inventory exactly to ensure full compliance with Swiss regulations.


Customs Regulations for Switzerland

Switzerland has highly structured and regulated import procedures for household goods.
