Review the Gateway and the Swiss Receiving Arrangement
Define the Proposed Transit and Clearance Steps
If the proposed route uses an EU gateway, have the broker identify where goods are presented, whether they move under transit or another arrangement, and who is responsible for each step. Do not assume that discharge itself means clearance.
Verify Requirements Instead of Assuming Equivalence
Ask the Swiss importer to confirm the actual product and document requirements rather than inheriting a package from a different destination. The United Kingdom page offers related planning context, not a statement that the two regimes are identical.
Confirm Plant-Health Requirements
Ask the importer or broker to confirm entry eligibility and the food safety, plant-health, testing, and document requirements for the actual dried product, origin, processing, and intended use. This page does not establish admissibility or a universal certificate requirement.
Identify the Buyer's Quality-File Evidence
For an extraction or quality-system brief, specify botanical identity, source records, handling information, sampling, methods, and any required analytes. Confirm what is available for the lot; an agreed file format alone does not guarantee an audit outcome.
