So, you can’t get the money back or off the price when you buy it in Germany. If you are doing this with a brick and mortar store you can take it back there next time (if there is a next time).Keep the form for later and claim it from the seller directly.At the border, on the German side, you have to fill out the German form and get it stamped.Here is the rough process for claiming your German VAT tax back: So, you can save around 10% or more on the taxes. On the German side, you can actually get the taxes back which is worth it considering it can be as much as 19% tax. Keep that in mind when you consider the price of something. However, if it is over, you have to declare them on the Swiss side of the border and pay the appropriate taxes. If your products are under 300CHF then you can just enter Switzerland. If you do pick up your products in Germany, France or Italy you have to take into account customs and the 300 CHF limit. If you don’t have someone to ship to, there are specific shipping services like Swiss Paket or My Paket Shop you can ship to near the German border, who then forward it to your address.Ī actually provides pickup point options although to be honest, I have never tried it. The way to do this is to ship inside Europe, preferably to somewhere close to you or to a relative or friend. However, if you want to ship something that is not allowed to be shipped to Switzerland, you have to work around the block. However, given the costs of such a service, it is rarely worth it. Or, you can use Planet Express to do freight forwarding from a US warehouse address to work around the problem. There are even specific pages on some Amazon sites like, where you can filter products that have international shipping available. Use the option that suits you best – fastest, or cheapest. If the product you wish to buy is able to be shipped to Switzerland, the choice is quite simple. And, often the products are not allowed to be shipped. However, shipping is often more expensive. You can also use .uk or even and get things into Switzerland. This is the biggest problem with using Amazon. The challenge starts when you want specific products that are not available or do not ship from a particular Amazon to Switzerland. Of course, this also means that you will likely speak or be learning to speak the language on these sites as well. If you are in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, use.The simplest way to decide which Amazon to use in your situation is proximity. Depending on which Amazon store you use, there will only be a limited selection of products you can order direct to Switzerland. Yes, Amazon does ship to Switzerland but they do not offer the full range of products.
