Customs regulations for your move from Switzerland to Germany

Moving from Switzerland to Germany is a special border crossing, as your new home is in an EU member state. Your removal goods are therefore subject to EU customs regulations. Although searches at the border are rare, they are still possible if there are reasonable grounds for suspicion. To avoid possible complications when moving to Germany, it is important to be well prepared. Form 0350 from the German customs authorities must be completed. Download the document and print it out in duplicate before you start packing. Complete the list according to your canton and transfer the full details to the second copy shortly before the move. You should also keep an external list, as the lines provided on the form only offer limited space for notes. Further important information on customs duties can be found on the website of the European Customs Union.
