Functionalities for Swiss import declarations with e-dec

The simple, reliable way to create Swiss import declarations

All you need for imports to Switzerland is an enterprise identification number (UID) from the Swiss Customs Client Administration, a CSP account – and Import Filing: e-dec. The customs software from AEB guides you through each step of creating an electronic import declaration and sending it off directly to the e-dec system of Swiss customs. This saves you the costs of hiring a customs service provider.

You can respond online to error messages from customs and adjust or delete declarations. This is the fastest way to obtain a release of your goods and receive the electronic assessment decision (eVV Zoll, eVV MwSt). Documents like the import list and delivery orders can be managed directly in the software and printed out as needed.

Added benefit: Retrieve import documents with eVV Import

In 2018, the Swiss Federal Customs Administration switched to an electronic procedure for retrieving import documents. AEB responded with its eVV Import business service, the perfect enhancement to Import Filing: e-dec. This gives you a secure electronic process for regularly retrieving import documents like the electronic assessment decision (eVV) for customs and VAT and the corresponding refunds, either individually or collectively.

No math required: the currency calculator

Imports to Switzerland must be declared in Swiss francs, of course. Import Filing: e-dec is set up to provide the currency exchange rates published daily by the Swiss Federal Customs Administration.

NCTS procedure included

Switzerland lies in the heart of Europe but is not an EU member state. That’s why it’s an important receiving country for shipments processed under the New Computerized Transit System (NCTS)—and it’s why Import Filing: e-dec supports the discharge of transit arrivals. Authorized consignees can use the software to generate, edit, and search for transit arrivals. Import Filing: e-dec also keeps you in the loop about any transit procedure controls ordered by the customs authorities.
