Car Transport from Germany to Switzerland

    Kali Global handles the full logistics of moving a vehicle from Germany to any part of Switzerland. Because Switzerland is outside the EU customs union, crossing the border means formal export and import clearance — our team takes care of all customs paperwork, Swiss import VAT documents and border procedures, so your car gets through without delay.

    Switzerland stands outside the EU and runs its own customs and tax rules. Any vehicle moved from Germany into Switzerland counts as a non-EU import once it arrives, which usually means a customs declaration and payment of Swiss import VAT (Einfuhrsteuer) before the car can be registered or handed over.
    Kali Global knows Swiss customs procedures inside out. We prepare the export documents in Germany, coordinate clearance at the Swiss border, and make sure your vehicle is processed correctly before it reaches its final stop — Zurich, Geneva, Basel, or anywhere else in the country.

    PREPARING YOUR VEHICLE FOR TRANSPORT

    1. Have the registration certificate, proof of ownership and purchase invoice ready for the driver at pickup.
    2. Clear out any personal items from the cabin, boot and storage areas.
    3. Bring the fuel level down to roughly a quarter tank.
    4. Take photos of the car from every angle before it’s collected, for your own records.
    5. Let us know about any modifications or special equipment in advance — this can affect the customs paperwork needed for a non-EU import.

    Car Transport from Germany to Switzerland — Customs Handled Start to Finish
    Switzerland being outside the EU means every vehicle crossing from Germany goes through a formal import process — a customs declaration plus Swiss import VAT. For private buyers, people relocating, and Swiss dealerships alike, that can easily cause delays if the paperwork isn’t in order beforehand.
    Kali Global takes care of the whole process. We prepare export documents before pickup in Germany, liaise directly with Swiss customs at the border, and get your vehicle cleared without unnecessary waiting. Every route uses enclosed carriers, adding extra protection on the Alpine roads leading into cities like Zurich, Basel, Bern and Geneva. From a single private purchase to a commercial shipment, we manage pickup, border clearance and door-to-door delivery anywhere in Switzerland.
