VAT (Value Added Tax) for merchants selling to Switzerland

When selling goods to Switzerland you might be required to register your business there and charge VAT at the rate as stipulated by local rules and regulations. 

If a distance selling company realizes an annual turnover of at least CHF 100 000, the place of supply is automatically shifted into Switzerland and considered as domestic supplies which are subject to Swiss VAT.

NOTE: The Swiss Federal Customs Administration does not require you to collect import VAT for shipments with import VAT amount of CHF 5 ($5) or less, which fal in the low value goods category.
