MiniPac International
For consignments of up to 2 kg containing goods whose value does not exceed
CHF 700.00, it is sufficient to use the
green customs label.
For consignments where the value of the
goods has not been stated (e.g. a gift), a
customs declaration must be used instead
of the green customs label.
PostPac International and URGENT
consignments
All consignments must be accompanied
by a waybill. The maximum weight for
PostPac International is 30 kg, or 20 kg
for some countries. The maximum weight
for URGENT goods is 30 kg, or 2 kg for
URGENT documents.
Please note:
As a rule, it is up to the sender to obtain
information about import and export options from the relevant authorities in the
destination country or from the relevant
consulates. Swiss Post accepts no responsibility for this.
