Import a Car into Switzerland with Crypto | Bitmalo

Worldwide sourcing from third parties with a fully managed logistics service.
At Bitmalo, you pick the car and pay; we sort out the inspection, purchase, export, shipping, Swiss customs (BAZG) clearance, and door delivery across the country. Vehicles for our clients on this route usually arrive through EU seaports with bonded transit (e.g., Antwerp/Zeebrugge, Rotterdam) by sea and Zürich (ZRH) and Geneva (GVA) by air. Other entry points can be arranged if needed. After customs clearance, we organise covered last-mile delivery to all cantons.

How it works (hands-off in 4 steps)

  1. Pick your car – Go to Cars and message Bitmalo.
  2. Arrange for inspection (paid separately) – We verify the VIN/variant, emissions/equipment, and provide a Switzerland-ready condition report and documentation.
  3. Approve & buy – If satisfied, pay 100% upfront (crypto USDT/BTC/ETH or bank USD).
  4. Transport & deliver – We sort out air or sea freight with all-risk cover, coordinate BAZG clearance/arrival charges, and deliver to your address anywhere in Switzerland.

Payments & timelines

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

Note on taxes & fees: Switzerland typically applies automobile tax (Automobilsteuer) 4%, import VAT (8.1%), and where applicable customs duty (per tariff), plus handling charges. At registration, expect cantonal fees and possible CO₂ levy based on vehicle profile.

Key eligibility requirements
