Switzerland: Legal & Tax Guide
Procuring research compounds in Switzerland requires specific attention to import regulations, Swiss VAT, and customs clearance procedures as a non-EU member.
Customs & Duties
Shipments to Switzerland are subject to Swiss Customs clearance. While most research compounds fall under specific tariff codes, import duties may apply based on weight and classification.
Swiss VAT (MWST)
Imports are subject to 8.1% Swiss VAT (Normal rate). This is typically collected by the carrier (e.g., Swiss Post, DHL) upon delivery or invoiced separately.
Research Compliance
In accordance with Swiss federal laws, products supplied by Baltic BioLabs are strictly for laboratory research and analytical purposes.
In-Vitro Use Only
Compounds are not for human or animal consumption or diagnostic purposes.
Documentation
All shipments include professional commercial invoices and MSDS upon request.
Institutional Orders
Universities and research institutes (ETH, EPFL, etc.) may utilize simplified clearance procedures.
