Re: What is the best way to send personal items from US to CH

Importation of MOVING GOODS is free of tax or duty payments, as long as the items are not brand-new. In theory you must have had them in your possession for 6 months or longer.

Therefore I would NOT label the items as OLD WHATEVER but as MOVING GOODS and declare them as such when dealing with customs.

Been there, done that multiple times. Never paid a Fränkli.
