The eCommerce experts. FIEGE can support you in the development of your online business in Switzerland with flexible logistics solutions.
Already before the COVID-19 pandemic, innovations such as the smartphone and associated change in the use of media were the drivers of strong growth in online trade. In 2020, the Swiss eCommerce market was worth more than 13 billion francs and has more than doubled within the last 10 years. Swiss consumers purchase mainly non-food items such as home electronics, toys, food supplements, furniture or fashion items via online channels. From a consumer point of view, the desired products should be available as quickly as possible via all sales channels for the same price. Despite its central location in the heart of Europe, Switzerland does not belong to the free trade zone of the European Union, which makes it difficult for many online retailers to access the lucrative Swiss market. Since payment on delivery is inconvenient for Swiss customers, mail order companies should consider an option that includes customs clearance, whereby retailers pay customs duties, VAT and other charges.
Fiege Schweiz has many years of experience in consulting, planning and implementation of logistics solutions for digital business models. Contact us for a non-binding consultation.
