SwitzerlandAI CUSTOMS AUTOMATION FOR SWITZERLAND
Your customs team.
Assisted by customs AI.
Prepare e-dec Import and Passar workflows with Digicust AI. Reconcile documents, surface missing information and give your experts a clear dossier before the software handover.
Trusted by customs and logistics teams
Customs automation, built around Switzerland.
A road shipment into Switzerland can involve an EU export, a Swiss import and a separate transport step. Keep the evidence connected while treating each declaration and responsible party separately.
One connected preparation flow. Your experts stay in control of the decisions.
- 01
Receive
Collect invoices, packing lists, transport records and the supporting documents relevant to the shipment.
- 02
Reconcile
Extract line-item data and match goods across documents. Surface conflicting quantities, weights and values.
- 03
Check
Prepare classification proposals and configured trade compliance checks, with evidence for review.
- 04
Review
Resolve missing information and uncertain results. Your customs experts approve the next step.
- 05
Hand over
Transfer reviewed data through the agreed interface to your existing customs filing software.
BUILT AROUND LOCAL CUSTOMS PROCESSES
Connected evidence. Distinct procedures.
Each procedure needs its own data and review. Digicust supports preparation; the agreed filing software and responsible operator handle authority submissions.
E-DEC
Import
Prepare Swiss import data.
The BAZG describes Passar import as a phased introduction. Until wider productive use is released, non-pilot businesses continue with e-dec Import. Confirm the applicable route for your business.
- Match invoice lines, weights and freight evidence.
- Prepare importer, product and supporting-document details.
- Flag missing data before the e-dec or approved Passar pilot handover.
How Digicust fits. Your team approves the prepared data before it reaches the agreed software interface. Filing, access rights and authority responses remain with the responsible operator and filing system.
Official guidance · E-DECPASSAR
Export
Prepare the evidence for Passar exports.
Passar covers Swiss export and transit procedures. Declaration preparation and the transport process must be coordinated; a prepared dataset alone does not complete the border movement.
- Reconcile export goods and recipient information.
- Bring relevant authorisation and document references together.
- Separate the reviewed goods data from transport information.
How Digicust fits. Your team approves the prepared data before it reaches the agreed software interface. Filing, access rights and authority responses remain with the responsible operator and filing system.
Official guidance · PASSARTRANSIT
Transit
Keep transit and import cases connected.
A transit movement is a separate customs procedure. Prepare its own goods and movement information instead of reusing an import dossier as if it were a complete transit declaration.
- Match packages and gross weights across the consignment.
- Collect departure, destination and guarantee information for review.
- Keep transit references linked to the relevant shipment.
How Digicust fits. Your team approves the prepared data before it reaches the agreed software interface. Filing, access rights and authority responses remain with the responsible operator and filing system.

The details that change the workflow.
Start with the actual goods, route and procedure. Prepare the evidence your customs team needs to make and document its decisions.
Tares and product evidence
Use the Swiss tariff context. A supplier’s foreign commodity code is a starting point for review, not an automatically valid Swiss classification. Provide product function, material and specifications.
Import transition by business
Record whether the shipment uses e-dec Import or an authorised Passar pilot process. Confirm scope and responsibilities with the declarant and software provider.
Transport and declaration
Resolve conflicting weights and identifiers before handover. Keep the goods dossier and transport references connected without treating them as the same message.
AN ILLUSTRATIVE WORKFLOW
One shipment. A clearer handover.
A machine supplier sends an invoice in EUR, a separate freight bill and a packing list with a different gross weight. The Swiss importer needs a reviewed dossier for its applicable import workflow; the carrier needs consistent transport references.
- 01
Bring the evidence together
Match invoice, packing-list and transport records. Retrieve relevant product data through the sources connected to your implementation.
- 02
Show what needs attention
Surface conflicting details and missing evidence. Prepare proposals where the available information supports them; keep uncertainty visible.
- 03
Review and hand over
Your expert resolves open questions and approves the relevant dataset. Transfer it through the agreed interface, with the scope defined for each procedure.
Illustrative example, not a customer result. Sources, checks and connections depend on the implementation.
CONNECTED AI CAPABILITIES
The right support for every part of preparation.
Intelligent document processing
Read multilingual invoices, packing lists and CMRs. Match line items and spot discrepancies before they reach the declaration.

Customs brokers
Reconcile documents from multiple customers and give declarants more time for exceptions and complex cases.

Connect commercial and transport information across sea, air and road freight workflows.
Importers & exporters
Keep product, supplier and shipment data consistent across recurring international trade.
Before you automate customs preparation in Switzerland.
Is every Swiss import already handled in Passar?
No. The BAZG describes a phased import pilot and continued e-dec Import use outside the authorised pilot scope. Check the current official guidance and your business’s access before changing a workflow.
Can we keep our existing customs software?
That is the intended preparation-layer approach. Confirm the supported interface, required fields and responsibilities with Digicust and your filing-software provider before implementation.
Can we start with one shipment type?
Yes. Define a representative document set, one procedure and an agreed review workflow. Evaluate preparation time, corrections and unresolved fields against your current process.
Who makes the customs decisions?
Your responsible experts review classification proposals, uncertain data and possible licensing requirements. AI assistance does not replace their judgement or the authority’s decision.
