@thequentinletts You're not smuggling 2 tonnes of beef in your backpack, are you? Moving goods across is quite different.

This map shows all of the customs posts in Switzerland.

Click on some of them and you'll see the words:

"No merchandise customs clearance"

@thequentinletts Many of the smaller border crossings do not allow commercial goods vehicles to cross.

@thequentinletts On other crossings goods can only come through at certain times and there are car/lorry parks where goods vehicles are held until they complete processing.

@thequentinletts The regulations on goods entering into Switzerland are quite clear. Goods must be presented to a Swiss customs office to be cleared if they are not for transit.
