Switzerland customs at a glance

What officers actually check. What we attach to every parcel before it leaves Hyderabad.

๐Ÿ“‹ Required Documents

  • We prepare clear ingredient lists for every pickle, spice powder and sweet going to Switzerland โ€” customs gets accurate documentation for smooth clearance.
  • Pure ghee and dairy-based sweets declared with complete labels and honest valuations โ€” no duty surprises for your family in Zurich, Geneva or Basel.
  • Homemade Andhra pickles are invoiced as personal-use non-commercial food โ€” this is exactly what Switzerland customs needs for personal parcels.
  • Every shipment includes a full commercial invoice and packing list prepared free by our documentation team.
  • 25 years and 1 lakh+ international food shipments โ€” we know precisely what Switzerland customs needs to approve your parcel quickly.

โš–๏ธ Quantity & Biosecurity

  • Personal-use food parcels up to 15 kg generally clear Switzerland customs without commercial duty when correctly declared as personal food.
  • Andhra vegetable pickles, dry spice powders, karam podi and oil-based pickles are all permitted for personal use in Switzerland.
  • Pure cow ghee in sealed containers is allowed when declared as dairy โ€” we prepare this documentation correctly on every ghee shipment.
  • Traditional non-perishable sweets like ariselu, sunnundalu and Mysore pak are allowed for personal gifting โ€” dry sweets clear smoothly.
  • No fresh meat or fresh fruit โ€” all dry, oil-based and cooked traditional Andhra food in sealed containers is perfectly fine for Switzerland.

๐Ÿšซ Common Hold Reasons in Switzerland

  • Missing or incomplete ingredient labels cause delays at Switzerland customs โ€” we write precise, complete labels for every item we pack.
  • Leaking or improperly sealed containers trigger inspection โ€” our 3-layer edible-grade airtight packing prevents leaks entirely.
  • Undeclared items or incorrect valuations cause holds โ€” we declare everything accurately and honestly on every shipment.
  • Fresh meat and certain fresh dairy products are restricted โ€” but all dry Andhra pickles, spice powders and sealed sweets are perfectly fine.
  • Large commercial quantities without proper documentation attract customs flags โ€” we keep your parcel within personal-use limits always.

Three-layer leak-proof packing

Thick edible-grade pouches inside reinforced cartons โ€” engineered to survive cargo-hold pressure and conveyor jolts. Same standard, refined parcel-by-parcel for two decades.

1

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Inner edible-grade pouch

Food-grade thick pouch, heat-sealed leak-proof. Lighter than glass with a stronger seal. Designed to handle pressure differentials at 35,000 ft cruising altitude.

2

๐Ÿซง Cushioning layer

Closed-cell foam or industrial bubble-wrap envelope. Absorbs every airport conveyor jolt. Keeps pouches isolated from each other so oil never migrates between contents.

3

๐Ÿ“ฆ Reinforced outer carton

Export-grade 7-ply corrugated carton with a leak-resistant inner liner. Double-taped seams, customs-ready labelling, and fragile markings where the contents warrant.

My father works in Zurich's banking sector and was miserable without amma's avakaya and karam podi. My mother in Kondapur booked SLP Express โ€” free pickup, everything packed airtight, delivered to Zurich in 5 working days. Switzerland customs cleared perfectly. My father called from Zurich saying it tasted exactly like home. We use SLP every few months now.

I work in pharma in Basel and my family in Kukatpally sends me gongura pachadi and spice powders. SLP Express is 50% cheaper than DHL retail and picks up free from Kukatpally. The parcel arrives in 5 days with live tracking. Switzerland customs has never held any of my parcels. Trusted NRI courier from Hyderabad.

Sent Diwali sweets โ€” ariselu, sunnundalu and Mysore pak โ€” from our Jubilee Hills home to our Telugu friends in Geneva and Zurich. SLP Express handled a 12 kg bulk order at wholesale rates. Delivered in time for Diwali. We celebrated together in Geneva feeling like we never left Hyderabad. Outstanding service for Telugu families abroad.
