Delivered duty paid, or not

Every quote we send to Switzerland shows the landed cost, with the charges above included, before you order. If you want it delivered duty paid we clear the shipment, pay the duty and tax, and nothing is due when the courier arrives. If you would rather clear it yourself through your own broker, we ship on standard terms and send the paperwork with it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the import duty on silver jewellery from India to Switzerland?

Silver jewellery is classified under HS 7113.11. Into Switzerland it pays 0% duty. No duty on jewellery. VAT of 8.1% applies on the goods, shipping and insurance. Switzerland sits outside the EU, so an EU clearance does not cover it. Couriers charge a handling fee for clearing parcels with VAT due.

Is there VAT or GST on jewellery imported into Switzerland?

Yes. VAT of 8.1% is charged on the customs value plus the duty. A business registered for the tax can usually reclaim it, which means the real cost of importing is the duty and the fees alone.

Who pays the duty, the buyer or the seller?

It depends on the shipping terms. If Argentia ships delivered duty paid, we pay the duty and any tax at the border and nothing is due when the courier delivers. If the order ships on standard terms, the courier bills the buyer before handing over the parcel. For Switzerland we quote both ways so you can see the difference.
