Import a Car to Switzerland with Crypto | Bitmalo

Worldwide third-party sourcing with a fully managed logistics service.
At Bitmalo, you pick the car and make the payment; we manage the inspection, purchase, export, shipping, Swiss customs (BAZG) clearance, and doorstep delivery across the nation. Client vehicles for this route usually arrive via EU seaports with bonded transit (e.g., Antwerp/Zeebrugge, Rotterdam) by sea and Zürich (ZRH) and Geneva (GVA) by air. Further gateways are organised as needed. Post customs clearance, we arrange covered last-mile delivery across all cantons.

How it works (hassle-free in 4 steps)

  1. Select your car – Visit Cars and message Bitmalo.
  2. Order inspection (paid separately) – We verify VIN/variant, emissions/equipment, and provide a CH-ready condition report and paperwork set.
  3. Approve & purchase – If content, pay 100% upfront (crypto USDT/BTC/ETH or bank USD).
  4. Move & deliver – We arrange air or sea with all-risk coverage, coordinate BAZG clearance/arrival charges, and deliver to your address anywhere in Switzerland.

Payments & timeline

  • Inspection fee – upfront to commence (no deposit required).
  • Purchase – 100% upfront (crypto or bank).
  • Import customs & arrival charges – settled by us via our forwarder/broker and re-invoiced to you (crypto or bank). We provide a pre-alert with ETA to your chosen EU seaport or Swiss airport and your delivery window.

Note on taxes & fees: Switzerland usually applies automobile tax (Automobilsteuer) 4%, import VAT (8.1%), and where applicable customs duty (as per tariff), plus handling charges. During registration, anticipate cantonal fees and a possible CO₂ levy based on the vehicle's profile.
