Battery and Compliance Regulations

You can find more details in the FAQ or through the help center for specific carrier restrictions regarding Switzerland.

Managing Swiss Import Duties and VAT

Importing high-end electronics into Switzerland requires an understanding of the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (BAZG) regulations. While the price gap makes importing attractive, you must account for import tax and the Swiss VAT (currently 8.1% for most goods). Unlike many other nations, Switzerland calculates customs tax based on the gross weight of the shipment rather than just the value, though for electronics, the weight-based duty is typically negligible.

Check our guide on import duties to understand how GST/VAT is applied to US imports. Accurate declaration of the item value is vital to ensure smooth clearance through Swiss customs.

Execution Steps for Swiss Residents

To successfully acquire your device, follow this step-by-step guide on how it works:

• Register for a US-based shipping address.
• Purchase the SmartGoggles from a US retailer using your assigned suite number.
• Once the item arrives at the warehouse, review the weight and support documentation.
• Select your preferred courier (DHL, FedEx, or Aramex) for delivery to Switzerland.
• Pay the international shipping fees and track your parcel to your door.

By managing the logistics independently, you maintain control over the delivery speed and total expenditure, ensuring the 2026 Therabody SmartGoggles 2 arrives efficiently and cost-effectively.
