Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need customs clearance for Spain to Switzerland freight?

Yes. Switzerland is not in the EU customs union. All goods from Spain to Switzerland require a Spanish export declaration and a Swiss import declaration. You need an EORI number for the Spanish export and a Swiss customs agent for the import.

What is the LSVA and how does it affect my freight cost?

The LSVA (Leistungsabhängige Schwerverkehrsabgabe) is Switzerland's heavy vehicle road charge, calculated per tonne-kilometre. For a 13.6m trailer crossing Switzerland, this adds approximately CHF 200–400 per transit depending on load. This cost is passed through in the freight rate.
