The Customs Purposes Only Invoice is a crucial document required by Swiss customs authorities for processing non-commercial shipments entering or leaving Switzerland. This document type is specifically designed for situations where goods are being transported across borders without a commercial transaction, such as samples, returns, repairs, or temporary imports. The document must comply with Swiss customs regulations and includes essential information about the goods, their nominal value, shipping parties, and the purpose of transport. It serves as a declaration to customs authorities that the shipment has no commercial value while providing necessary details for customs clearance. This document is particularly important given Switzerland's position as a non-EU country with its own distinct customs requirements and procedures.
