- Passar digital customs system will expand to include imports in Switzerland by Q2 2026, gradually replacing the e-dec freight application.
- Passar 2.0 and e-dec will operate in parallel for about one year during the transition.
- The CSP account will be replaced by the BP-ID, which centralizes customs applications, removes the need for a security deposit, and links automatically to the business identification number (UID).
- Importers will retain benefits such as postponed payment deadlines, cashless payments, digital assessment decisions, and e-bills.
- Migration to BP-ID requires separate registration on the Swiss ePortal and will not be automatic.
