From January 1, 2024, industrial tariffs will be abolished in Switzerland. This means that goods which apply to Chapters 25-97 of the Swiss Customs Tariff, with the exception of certain products falling under Chapters 35 and 38, are no longer declarable when imported into Switzerland from this date.

For GLS customers, this means that the normal (non-preferential) duty rate for industrial products imported into Switzerland is zero. When importing industrial products that are expected to remain or be consumed in Switzerland at the time of import, the application of free trade agreements (FTAs) or the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) for the benefit of developing countries is no longer necessary.
