21. Juni 2024 – On 17 March 2024, the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (FOCBS) introduced the "Passar" goods traffic system for exports. Until 31 December 2025, export customs declarations can be submitted via either the "e-dec" or "Passar" systems.
Starting 1 January 2026, only "Passar" will be used. The changes include additional attributes required in the "Passar" system for exporting medicinal products and narcotics. Medicinal products will require the establishment licence number and licence holder details starting 4 November 2024. For narcotics, new restriction codes and detailed information must be entered from 17 March 2024. Further changes include the digitalisation of procedures for controlled substances, replacing paper-based processes. Updates will be communicated on the Swissmedic website. Licence exceptions for certain medicinal products and narcotics must be declared with specific restriction codes and licence exception details.
