New goods traffic system «Passar» goes live

  • The Federal Office for Customs and Border Security has launched the first stage of the new goods traffic system, Passar, which aims to simplify and accelerate cross-border traffic of goods.
  • Passar 1.0 can be used from June 1st 2023 for digital processing of the transit and export of goods, while the import of goods and other special procedures will be part of Passar 2.0 from the beginning of 2025.
  • Passar will be introduced gradually to minimize the effort and risks involved in the changeover. Companies can manage their own data independently after a one-time registration in the ePortal. Goods declarations in Passar only become legally binding through activation when the border is crossed, allowing for adjustments without restriction.
  • The introduction of Passar 1.0 coincides with Switzerland’s implementation of the European Union’s new reporting model for transit. The digitalisation of all customs and duty collection processes is a key objective of the transformation programme DaziT.
