Switzerland joins ICS2
Switzerland will participate in the European Union's Import Control System 2 (ICS2). Customs data that are mainly generated in online trade will already be transmitted from the country of origin when the goods are shipped. This allows the Federal Customs Administration (FCA) to carry out an efficient and comprehensive risk analysis.
The update of the agreement signed on 25 June 2009 between Switzerland and the EU on the simplification of controls and formalities for goods transport and on customs security measures will increase security in the international movement of goods and advance the digitalisation of customs processes. It also ensures that the current level of security between Switzerland and the EU is maintained. (sh)
