Bring Your Car to Switzerland with Crypto | Bitmalo

Worldwide sourcing with a fully managed logistics service.
At Bitmalo, you just pick your car and pay; we sort out the inspection, purchase, export, shipping, Swiss customs (BAZG) clearance, and door delivery across the whole country. Cars for our clients usually come in via EU seaports with bonded transit (like Antwerp/Zeebrugge, Rotterdam) if by sea, and Zürich (ZRH) and Geneva (GVA) if by air. We arrange other entry points as needed. After customs release, we arrange for covered last-mile delivery to all cantons.

How it works (stress-free in 4 steps)

1. Choose your car – Go to Cars and send a message to Bitmalo.
2. Order inspection (pay separately) – We check the VIN/variant, emissions/equipment, and give you a condition report and all the paperwork ready for Switzerland.
3. Approve & buy – If you're happy, pay 100% upfront (crypto USDT/BTC/ETH or bank USD).
4. Transport & deliver – We arrange air or sea transport with all-risk cover, sort out BAZG clearance/arrival charges, and deliver to your address anywhere in Switzerland.

Payments & timeline

• Inspection fee – upfront to start (no deposit needed).
• Buying the car – 100% upfront (crypto or bank).
• Import customs & arrival charges – we pay these through our forwarder/broker and then re-invoice you (crypto or bank). We'll send you an early notification with the estimated arrival time at your chosen EU seaport or Swiss airport and your delivery window.

Note on taxes & fees: Switzerland usually charges automobile tax (Automobilsteuer) 4%, import VAT (8.1%), and if applicable, customs duty (as per tariff), plus handling charges. When registering, expect to pay cantonal fees and possibly a CO₂ levy depending on your car's profile.

What you need to know about eligibility

• Steering side – LHD is standard. You can register RHD if the beam-pattern and lighting conform to requirements.
• Approval process – You can use CoC (if available) or get individual approval at MFK; we'll explain the best way forward with your cantonal Strassenverkehrsamt / Service des automobiles.
• Emissions & equipment – We check the Euro class; km/h speedometer, rear fog/indicator colour, and lighting for right-hand traffic will be verified.
• Documents needed – VIN/chassis, bill of sale, export title/registration, and translations that meet BAZG/ASTRA/cantonal requirements.

Shipping & insurance

• Air & sea freight — Air freight directly to Switzerland, or sea freight via EU ports with bonded onward transit.
• Seaport routes (via EU) — Usually Antwerp or Bremerhaven, then a T1 bonded transfer to the Swiss border; other EU ports can be arranged on request.
• Airports — Typically, arrivals are at Zürich (ZRH) or Geneva (GVA); Basel–Mulhouse (BSL/MLH) if routed there.
• Handling — EU terminal DO/THC, bonded-depot devanning if required, customs handover, and controlled cross-border transfer.
• EV/hybrids — We ensure airline DG compliance with all paperwork sorted by us.
• Insurance & last-mile delivery — All-risk cover from start to finish and covered delivery to all cantons.
