The Chamber has been made aware that Switzerland is no longer accepting digital stamps and signatures. Swiss customs had been accepting digital signatures and stamps as a temporary easement during Covid but have now reverted to insisting on wet stamps and signatures.
What does this mean for UK exporters?
- You can no longer apply for the EUR1 for Switzerland using the express method.
- We can only accept standard applications for the Chamber to print for you.
- You will need to send to us a pre signed EUR1 certificate for us to print your application, alternatively arrangements can be made that you can lodge with the Chamber pre-signed EUR1s.
Pre signed EUR1s need to have pages – 1, 3 and 4 signed – there is no need to complete anything else other than your signature as the electronic ecert application will print this for you.
