The Bill of Entry and Bill of Lading is a crucial document in international trade operations under Swiss jurisdiction, combining two essential functions: customs declaration and transport documentation. This dual-purpose document is required when importing or exporting goods through Swiss customs territory, whether by land or through international ports of entry. It must comply with the Swiss Federal Customs Act, the Swiss Code of Obligations, and international shipping conventions ratified by Switzerland. The document includes comprehensive details about the shipment, including shipper and consignee information, cargo details, customs classification, and transport terms. It serves as both proof of receipt for goods and a document of title, making it essential for international trade transactions involving Swiss entities or passing through Swiss customs territory. The combined nature of this document streamlines the documentation process while ensuring compliance with both shipping and customs requirements.
