As a totally legit importer your friend will also have to cover the recycling fee for electronic products. For a 12' laptop this is about 5-6 CHF apiece, but he will have to join a recycling organization and handle the admin overhead. See here for an example: http://www.swicorecycling.ch/de/administration/beitritt
And your friend will have to provide a Swiss law warranty for the goods sold in Switzerland.

thanks

the swiss law warranty bit made be chuckle my experience of that has been "we'll send it back to the manufacturer at your cost"

just to clarify

this would be a box shifting type company, make and model etc would be supplied but taking individual pics, upgrading etc etc would be out, or course that also means you could get lucky and get an upgraded laptop.

otherwise the costs and of course prices would start to rise sharply.
