Hi, friends,

I have two questions about import tax in Switzerland, and hope to get help from you.
1. I am planning to send some samples from China to a swiss customer by TNT express. I'd like to know there have any import duty free clause about the samples in Switzerland.

2. Could you please tell me if a swiss customer import a brass parts from China, what kinds of tax will be charged in Switzerland. Actually, the parts is a brass connection, and the front four-digit of HS code is 7412.

Your help will be appreciated!

Generally items made in China and indicated as such are free of duty as China is still classed as a third world country by the Swiss!!

Hi, Richard,

Thanks for your reply.
Could you please see the picture which I found, and tell me if our swiss customer import this kind of goods from China, which kinds of taxes will be charged? I need more detailed information. Thanks a lot.

I don't know how to upload a picture. The picture shows:

Tariff number is 7412.2020 and the text is copper alloys of tube or pipe fittings (for example, couplings, elbows, sleeves) with surface-treat.
