Customs tariffs
Sweden, as a member of the European Union, applies EU rules throughout the Union. The EU pursues a fairly liberal international trade policy. However, there are a number of restrictions, especially on agricultural products, and this obviously applies to Sweden.
Import duties and taxes are due on goods imported into Sweden from outside the EU, so obviously from Switzerland. Whether it is the fact of an individual or a company. Customs duties vary from 0 to 17%, with an average of 4.2% for the general tariff. However, they extend to foodstuffs, textiles, and clothing. If the total value of the goods does not exceed SEK 206,600, the goods are exempt from customs duties.
Goods that are not allowed to be imported.
Make sure that you do not send these prohibited goods in packages to Sweden:
- Flammable and explosive products
- Toxic substances
- Civil and service weapons
- Product Imitations
- Pirated products
