Customs formalities for Slovenia
Required documents
Add to your package a pro forma invoice (which will be issued automatically by Expedismart.ch) to send a package from Switzerland to Slovenia. This invoice explains to Slovenian customs the goods contained in your package. Please be aware that customs may carry out checks and that there may be a waiting period related to these checks.
If your goods are valuable, take out package insurance. This will cost you 1% of the declared value of the goods but you will be reimbursed in case of loss or damage. If you sell the goods you are sending from Switzerland to Slovenia, you must provide not a proforma invoice but a commercial invoice, which you can draw up yourself or which will be issued automatically on our website. Compare and ship a parcel from Switzerland to Slovenia with a five-star service on our site. Choose the carrier (FedEx, UPS, Aramex, TNT) that picks up your document or package in the time slot you have chosen, either at your home or at your company.

Customs tariffs
To know the taxes and other customs fees, do not hesitate to consult the TARIC database. You will also be able to know if the goods are subject to particular restrictions.
Customs duties and import taxes
Slovenia is a full member of the European Union. As Switzerland is not a member, the recipient will have to pay customs duties. The common customs tariff of the European Union is applicable to goods coming from outside Europe. Customs duties are relatively modest, especially in industry (4.2% on average). As mentioned above, you will find the tariffs for goods of European origin on the TARIC consultation site.
