Buying a watch tax-free in Switzerland

 

WE CAN PROVIDE EXPORT DOCUMENTS, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:

1. You are eligible to pay tax free if your permanent residence is outside of Switzerland.
 
2. We need your passport (ID for EU residents) and your permanent address. 

​

3. We ask you to pay the full amount, including VAT, as a deposit.

​​

4. We will provide you the export document and the letter pre-stamped for the Swiss Customs.

​

5. ⁠You have 90 days after the purchase to claim for the VAT refund. Please inform us when you plan to leave the country so that the refund is faster.

​​

6. Present the watch when leaving the country at any Swiss Customs offices at the borders or at any Swiss Airport with international terminal (For example: Geneva and Basel airports have French terminals, so if your flight is from the "French" side of the airport, you will not have access to the Swiss Customs). 

​

7. Once we receive back the export document validated by Swiss Customs we will refund the entire VAT
