Swiss Import Requirements:

Precision Machinery to Zurich: A engineering firm in Zurich sourced 320+ components from 5 Chinese cities (Ningbo, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Tianjin), including CNC parts, sensors, and calibration tools. We consolidated the goods in our Guangzhou warehouse within 3 days, shipped via CIF terms to Port of Rotterdam in a 40ft container, and coordinated rail transport to Zurich. The shipment arrived in 33 days, saving 30% on shipping costs compared to individual deliveries.

Pharmaceutical Raw Materials to Basel: A pharmaceutical company needed active ingredients from Beijing, packaging materials from Foshan, and lab equipment from Shenzhen. We consolidated the goods, shipped via FOB terms to Port of Hamburg in an LCL container, and arranged delivery to their Basel facility. The shipment cleared Swiss Customs in 1 day, arriving 34 days after pickup—meeting their production timeline for a new drug.

Luxury Watch Components to Geneva: A watchmaker in Geneva required precision gears from Shenzhen and sapphire crystals from Yiwu for their premium timepieces. We consolidated the goods, shipped via air freight to Geneva Airport under CIF terms, and coordinated local delivery. The shipment arrived door-to-door in 5 days—critical for their limited-edition release.

Consolidation Expertise: Our Guangzhou warehouse optimizes loading for both sea and air freight, minimizing costs for multi-supplier orders—vital for Switzerland’s precision engineering and pharmaceutical sectors.
