Shipping To Switzerland

I bought a few times is Switzerland and Switzerland is known as a place where rich people park their money and then forget to declare it to the tax office .

I received this strange communication from the professional Swisse vendor not to put money in an envelope even insured because mail is now often opened up ; but to put money in a shoe box

Of course not trusting any of the in between handlers I did a complete official banktransfer asking for a fully insured coin
This made me happy because the coin disappeared from Switzerland to Belgium and the insurance paid for it

You may want to look up the small print on USPS insurance to make sure Switzerland and coins are covered
I only know it is forbidden to send food

On the right side of the site of Swisse post ( in english lucky you )
you will see importing parcels pdf

Gifts only up to 100 SF
Internet purchase taxed fully
Since 2005 all american packages go directly to the Swiss post taxcentre

You are welcome
If you need a non babelfish translation let me know
Of the 4 languages spoken in Switzerland I speak two and understand a third
( speak french and german )

Hope your buyer was not Erdnueslli
We had a good laugh on a german forum
The girl calls all coins stgl which means MS
A guy said she will only go to AU if the coin spent all of WWII on the threads of a pantzertank ; I loved that images for an AU
