Moving between Italy and Switzerland

Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, Zurich, Bern or Basel: door-to-door transport from Italy, with the inventory and the documents prepared in advance.

Switzerland is not part of the European Union: a change of residence requires a detailed inventory of the goods and specific documents, prepared before departure. This is the part private customers most often underestimate.

We put the file together with you, organise transport from Italy and deliver to the Swiss address, with reassembly if you want it. Which formalities apply, and any charges, depend on your situation: we check them case by case and promise no particular outcome.

Where we deliver

Most runs start from Piedmont and Lombardy, but we load anywhere in Italy.

Destinations: Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, Bellinzona, Locarno, Zurich, Bern, Basel, Sion, Neuchâtel

Customs: what to expect

For a transfer of residence the Swiss authorities generally ask for a detailed inventory of the goods and evidence connected with the move. The exact list depends on your personal situation and on the rules in force at the time.

We tell you what applies in your case and prepare the documents with you. We do not promise that there will be no duty, or how long clearance will take: that is the authorities' decision.

How the move runs

  1. Assessment

    Volume, floors and access at both addresses, on site or by video.

  2. Documents

    Inventory and the required paperwork prepared together.

  3. Packing

    Furniture protection, dismantling and boxes.

  4. Crossing

    Transport to the border and formalities.

  5. Delivery

    Unloading, reassembly and packing taken away.

Storage while you wait

It is common for the Swiss property not to be available on the day you leave. In that case we store your furniture in our warehouses in Turin Parella and Grugliasco, under 24-hour CCTV and alarm, and deliver when you are ready.

Frequently asked questions

Will we have to pay duty?

Relief exists for transfers of residence, but it depends on your situation and on the rules in force. We prepare the documents with you: the decision rests with the authorities.

How long does an Italy–Switzerland move take?

With a dedicated truck it usually runs over one or two days depending on distance and access. With groupage, delivery falls within a window of days.

Do you deliver to German-speaking Switzerland?

Yes: Zurich, Bern, Basel and the other cities. On site we work in Italian, French and English.

Can you dismantle and rebuild the furniture?

Yes, at both ends — it is usually essential for kitchens and fitted wardrobes.

What if the new home is not ready?

We keep your furniture in our warehouses in Italy and deliver on the date you give us.

Do you work for Swiss companies?

Yes: offices, archives and equipment, with dates planned and work outside business hours when needed.
