Shop fittings and retail packaging for Switzerland
DisplayiQ supplies shop fittings, POS displays and retail packaging to Swiss shops, chains, shopfitters and online sellers, delivered from Poland typically within 4–6 working days by road plus customs clearance. Switzerland is outside the EU, so goods leave the EU with export documents and enter Switzerland with Swiss customs clearance and import VAT.
We invoice without EU VAT, prepare export papers in Poland and deliver to you or your customs broker; Swiss import VAT and any customs costs are paid by the buyer. Printed bags, boxes and signage can carry German, French and Italian text for national ranges.

Switzerland: the practical facts
| Topic | What applies |
|---|---|
| Delivery from Poland | Typically 4–6 working days by road, plus time for export and Swiss import clearance |
| Label and instructions | The EU GPSR does not apply in Switzerland; under Swiss product safety rules, safety information for consumer products is given in the official language of the region where they are sold: German, French or Italian |
| VAT | Export from the EU without EU VAT; Swiss import VAT at the standard rate of 8.1 % (since 1 January 2024) is charged on import |
| Customs | Swiss customs clearance with an export declaration from the EU and our invoice; Switzerland abolished import duties on industrial goods from 2024, but clearance and import VAT remain |
| Packaging | The EU Packaging Regulation and EU EPR schemes do not apply; Swiss rules and voluntary collection systems differ, so we check your case |
| Shop lighting | Swiss rules for low-voltage products are closely aligned with the EU; we supply the EU declaration of conformity and test reports we hold per model, and your importer confirms any Swiss-specific points |
A summary for planning, not legal advice. The buyer is the importer of record and pays Swiss import VAT; Incoterms and the customs agent are agreed per order.

Frequently asked questions
Do you charge Polish VAT to Swiss companies?
No. The sale is an export from the EU, so our invoice is without EU VAT. Swiss import VAT of 8.1 % is charged when the goods enter Switzerland and is paid by the buyer.
Who clears the goods through Swiss customs?
You or your customs broker: the buyer handles Swiss clearance and pays import VAT. DisplayiQ prepares the export declaration, the invoice and the packing list and delivers to you or your broker.
Are there import duties on shop fittings and packaging?
Switzerland abolished import duties on industrial goods from 1 January 2024. Import VAT and clearance costs still apply and are paid by the buyer, and some goods may carry other fees, which we check in the offer.
Which languages should printed packaging and signs carry?
That is a marketing choice for bags and boxes, but safety information on consumer products follows the official language of the region where they are sold. For a national chain we often print German and French, or all three languages, on one design.
Do EU packaging registrations apply in Switzerland?
No. The EU Packaging Regulation and EU EPR schemes do not apply. Swiss rules differ, and we check what applies to your goods.
Do you sell to Swiss consumers?
No. We supply businesses only.
Can I buy shop fittings and packaging for Switzerland from an EU importer?
Yes. DisplayiQ invoices Swiss companies without EU VAT, prepares the export papers in Poland and delivers to the buyer or their customs broker, who handles Swiss clearance and pays import VAT, typically 4–6 working days by road plus clearance.
