Shipping and Removals in Geneva

While Switzerland is indeed a landlocked country, it's still relatively simple for expats to ship their goods to Geneva. And as the city is readily associated with a high cost of living, many expats lured abroad prefer to bring their belongings along with them.

First, take the time to figure out what kind of goods you'd like to ship. If you're renting furnished accommodation in Geneva, or if you're only planning on staying for a few years, it might be possible to bring a few boxes via air freight. Air freight is generally more expensive that shipping by sea, but your goods arrive quickly.

Alternatively, it's possible to cargo ship your goods and then have them arrive in Switzerland by train. It's best to use a professional shipping company to handle the logistics, and these service providers can often arrange door-to-door service. Shipping time will vary depending on the distance from your home country.

Expats can readily import their household goods duty free, but to do so it's necessary to have a residence permit.
