National transit
The national transit procedure governs the transport of uncleared goods (goods not in free circulation in Switzerland) under customs supervision between various customs offices.
The transit procedure is processed via the “Passar” goods traffic system. More information
Goods that are uncleared or awaiting export must be held under customs supervision and declared under the national transit procedure if you are:
- transporting your goods between two inland customs offices,
- from a border customs office to an inland customs office, or
- from an inland customs office to an airport customs office.
Note: Any goods which you transport from an inland customs office to a border customs office or between border customs offices must generally be declared under the common transit procedure (CTP).
How the national transit procedure works
The implementing provisions in accordance with Directive 14-10 (available in French, German and Italian) are decisive for managing the transit procedure.
