Switzerland to Roll Out New System to Digitize Customs Procedures

Switzerland on June 1 will begin the first phase of a new “goods traffic system” to digitize certain customs procedures, KPMG said in a March 27 alert. The first phase will focus on modernizing “transit and export” procedures, KPMG said, and phase two will cover imports in 2025. The system, called Passar, will allow traders to electronically link their transport and other declarations and could “speed up the border process.”
