Switzerland has been an attractive country for car imports for years: the supply is large, vehicle quality is high, and prices are often lower than in the Netherlands. But because Switzerland is not an EU member state, the process is a bit more complex. Fortunately, Marlog Europe assists you from A to Z.
Why Switzerland?
Switzerland offers advantages that may be hard to find in the Netherlands:
- Larger and more diverse selection than in the Netherlands.
- Lower vehicle prices due to favorable tax structure.
- Many youngtimers and classic cars in excellent condition.
Switzerland can be an interesting option for individuals or businesses looking for a slightly used car, but also for classic car enthusiasts.

Customs formalities and regulations in 2025
Because Switzerland is outside the EU, different import rules apply. Think of:
- VAT and import duties
- Customs documentation
- BPM and CO₂ levy
- Mandatory RDW inspection
Your car must be technically inspected, fiscally declared, and administratively processed before you can drive on Dutch roads.
