It's ideal when your cargo occupies less than 13\/14\/15 cubic meters (CBM) in a container.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> Consider a business that only needs to ship 10CBM of manufactured goods from the UK to Switzerland. Booking a full container would be unnecessarily expensive and there might be wasted space. An LCL shipment is perfect here, as it allows them to share container space and costs with other businesses shipping to the same destination.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> With LCL, you pay for the space your cargo takes up, rather than the whole container. This keeps costs down for small-volume shippers. LCL shipping allows businesses to sensibly manage their freight spend, especially those often dealing with smaller consignments where air freight might be too costly. However, remember costs are calculated based on volume or weight (whichever is larger), so it might turn expensive for lighter, bulky goods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pgc-5610-8-1\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5610-8-1-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"14\" ><div class=\"custom-colors featured-widget panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-5610-8-1-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FCL_Full_Container_Load\"><\/span>FCL: Full Container Load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Definition:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/sea-freight-services\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #920d12\"><strong>FCL<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, or Full Container Load, is a term in fcl shipping signifying that a single consignee owns all the goods within the container. Its safety advantage lies in the fcl container being sealed from origin to destination.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">When to Use:<\/strong> FCL is typically more cost-effective for high volume shipments, often above 13\/14\/15 CBM. So, if your cargo fall into this range, using either a 20'ft container or a 40'ft container under FCL will be your best bet.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Example:<\/strong> For instance, a UK company exporting high quantities of machinery to Switzerland would garner substantial savings by opting for an FCL shipping quote, ensuring their items are packed into one exclusive container, not shared with other shipments.<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"color: #0e465f\">Cost Implications:<\/strong> FCL generally provides better cost efficiencies when transporting large volumes as the price per unit weight tends to decrease. Regardless of the actual freight volume, the cost of shipping a 20'ft or 40'ft container stays constant, often making FCL a cheaper alternative for heavier shipments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-5610-9\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-5610-9\" ><div id=\"pgc-5610-9-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5610-9-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"15\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-5610-9-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Unlock hassle-free shipping<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Choose the right service between cargo consolidation and full containers on the UK-Switzerland link with DocShipper.

It's simply what your shipment weighs on a scale. Volumetric weight, on the other hand, reflects the amount of space the parcel occupies. It's not about weight, but the space your package takes up in the cargo hold.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>To calculate gross weight in air cargo, just weigh the entire shipment, including packaging, and you'll have it in kilograms. For example, if a box of machine parts weighs 30 kg on a scale, the gross weight is 30 kg, or approximately 66 lbs.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Calculating volumetric weight, however, is a bit more complex. In air cargo, it requires the formula: Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm)\/6000 = Volumetric Weight in kg. Suppose that the box of machine parts has dimensions 60cm x 40cm x 40cm, the volumetric weight would be (60 x 40 x 40)\/6000, which equals 16kg, or around 35 lbs.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>For Express Air Freight, the calculation is quite similar, but the denominator in the formula changes to 5000, so it's more sensitive to the volume of the shipment. Using the same example, the volumetric weight for Express Air Freight would be (60 x 40 x 40)\/5000, which equals 19.2kg, or around 42 lbs.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Now comes the crucial question\u2014why does this matter? The key point to understand is that freight companies charge based on the higher of the two weights\u2014either the gross or the volumetric weight. This means you could end up paying for a shipment weight that's heavier than the package itself depending on its size. It's essential to know and account for these factors when planning and budgeting your shipments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-5610-17\"  class=\"panel-grid

Choosing LTL shipping between the UK and Switzerland is perfect if you're handling smaller quantities.

Here are some scenarios:<\/p>\n<p>- You've small-sized cargo (i.e., less than 15 CBM)<br \/>\n- You're looking for cost-efficient shipping. Combining different LTL shipments from various parties can split the cost.<br \/>\n- Your cargo isn't urgently needed. LTL often takes longer due to multiple pickups and drop-offs.<br \/>\n- You favor environmentally friendly choices. LTL reduces carbon footprint by utilizing space efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, understanding your shipping needs, cargo size, and timeframe will help you decide on the LTL vs FTL freight dilemma; whether it's shipping chic Swiss watches or quintessential British teapots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5610-19-1-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-last-child\" data-index=\"45\" ><div class=\"custom-colors panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-5610-19-1-3\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FTL_Full_Truck_Load\"><\/span>FTL: Full Truck Load<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Full Truck Load, often referred to as FTL freight, is a transportation solution where your cargo completely fills, or near enough to fill, an entire truck.

With every couch measuring around <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">4-5 CBM<\/span><\/strong>, if you're shipping even just three pieces, FTL could be the way to go.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some scenarios when considering FTL shipment:<\/p>\n<p>- You're shipping high-risk or fragile items \u2013 with FTL, they will be solitary in transit.<br \/>\n- Your goods measure over 13\/14\/15 CBM.<br \/>\n- You have a tight delivery schedule; FTL can offer quicker delivery times.<br \/>\n- The shipment is high value \u2013 an FTL freight provides less exposure to multiple handling, reducing the risk of damage.<br \/>\n- Your goods require particular conditions, such as temperature control.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, every business's need varies; understanding your shipping requirements will assist in making the best choice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-5610-20\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-5610-20-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-5610-20-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child\" data-index=\"46\" ><div class=\"custom-colors panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-5610-20-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_main_routes_between_UK_and_Switzerland\"><\/span>What are the main routes between UK and Switzerland?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The journey from the UK to Switzerland will often kick off via the A2 highway, flowing into the <strong><span style=\"color: #0e465f\">E40 and E25 in Belgium<\/span><\/strong>, as we channel mainland Europe.

Why is that, you ask? Here go the five reasons:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>1. Trade Treaties:<\/strong> <\/span>At its core, customs calculus hinges on trade deals. UK and Switzerland are subject to agreements that prescribe custom duties. Understand your deal, save big on taxes.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>2. HS Code Nexus:<\/strong><\/span> Origin tells a story. It sets the stage for the HS Code determination. Remember, HS Codes shape your custom duties.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>3. Marking Requirements:<\/strong> <\/span>Certain goods need origin marking. Make sure you check the requirements before shipping.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>4. Import Regulations:<\/strong><\/span> Switzerland has rules for imports from particular countries. Neglecting these could invite needless trouble.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>5. Duty Preferences:<\/strong><\/span> Some goods from specific countries avail reduced or zero duties. This country-of-origin pawn can be a gamechanger.<\/p>\n<p>Each trade agreement between the UK and Switzerland carries its own set of quirks. For instance, trade agreements like the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) can ease conformity assessments, affecting your duties. So dive into these agreements, unravel the benefits and drawbacks that relate to your shipment specifics.<\/p>\n<p>And remember, import restrictions aren't uncommon. Goods like agricultural products or weapons might face strict rules. So look before you leap, browses through lists of restrictions so you're prepared and aware. A little homework upfront can translate into smooth shipping later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5610-24-0-3\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"62\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 2 - Find the HS Code of your product<\/h3>\n<p>The Harmonized System (HS) Code is a standardized numerical method of classifying traded products. It is used by customs authorities around the world to identify products when assessing duties and taxes and to gather statistics.<\/p>\n<p><strong> The easiest way to find your product's HS Code is typically to ask your supplier. They're well-acquainted with the goods they export and the accompanying regulations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>However, if this isn't an option, you can discover your HS Code using a straightforward process. Firstly, utilize an HS lookup tool. One such tool is found in the <a href=\"https:\/\/hts.usitc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0e465f\"><strong>Harmonized Tariff <\/strong><strong>Schedule<\/strong>.<\/span><\/a> Once there, simply input the name of your product into the search bar. Then, take a look at the 'Heading\/Subheading' column where your HS Code is located.<\/p>\n<p>A word of caution - accuracy is critical when determining your HS Code. The implications of using an incorrect code include both shipping delays and potential fines. Always double-check to ensure you've found the correct classification.<\/p>\n<p>Here's an infographic showing you how to read an HS code.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5610-24-0-4\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"63\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-987 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas.png\" alt=\"hs code uk\" width=\"640\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas.png 640w, https:\/\/docshipper.co.uk\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/hs-code-ananas-300x128.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5610-24-0-5\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"64\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 3 - Calculate the Customs Value<\/h3>\n<p>Understanding the customs value - it's like unravelling a ball of yarn. Not always straightforward, but certainly doable! The customs value isn't just about how much your products cost, it involves more. Sure, it starts with the price of your goods, but then ropes in international shipping, and insurance costs. Put it all together and you've got your customs value, or as insiders call it, the CIF value.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">For instance, if your merchandise costs $1000, your transport is $200, with an insurance of $10, your CIF value or the customs value in Switzerland would be $1210. Keep in mind, this value forms the basis for customs duties and VAT. Embrace these numbers, and turning chaos into order becomes a breeze!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5610-24-0-6\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"65\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 4 - Figure out the applicable Import Tariff<\/h3>\n<p>Import tariffs, also known as customs duties, are taxes imposed by a country when goods are imported. For Switzerland, its Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) tariff system is used.<\/p>\n<p>To find the applicable tariff for UK products, use the<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/trade-tariff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> UK Government's Trade Tariff Tool.<\/a><\/strong> Simply follow these steps:<\/p>\n<p>1. Enter the HS code that was identified earlier.<br \/>\n2. Enter the country of origin.<br \/>\n3. Check the duties and taxes applied to their product.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Let's walk through an example using HS code 6203.42 (Men's woolen suits), imported from the UK. If the tariff rate displayed is 12%, and you have CIF costs ($ insurance and freight) worth $1000, the import duty will be calculated as follows:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Import Duty = CIF cost Tariff rate<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">= $1000 12%<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">= $120<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This calculation gives you the import duty, which should be considered in your costing when transporting goods from the UK to Switzerland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5610-24-0-7\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"66\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 5 - Consider other Import Duties and Taxes<\/h3>\n<p>When importing goods from the UK to Switzerland, it's crucial not to overlook additional import duties and taxes. For instance, beyond the standard tariff rate, excise duty may apply to certain goods such as tobacco, alcohol, or fuel. This is a specific type of tax that varies depending on the goods' nature and their country of origin.<\/p>\n<p>Consider anti-dumping taxes as well, which aim to balance unfair cost advantages from countries selling goods below their market value. Let's say you're importing textiles from the UK, and the Swiss authorities determine there's a case of dumping. They could impose a hefty tax, greatly increasing your total shipping spend.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #008000\">Most importantly, don't forget about Switzerland's Value Added Tax (VAT). Swiss import VAT gets calculated on the cost to import, adding together the value of the goods, duty, and cost to ship and insure. For example, if you're importing a wholesale lot of fashion accessories valued at $10,000, with a duty rate of 3% and transit insurance at $200, your calculated VAT may look like this: ($10,000 + 300 + 200) 7.7% (standard Swiss VAT rate).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Remember, these are just examples to illustrate the point, real-life figures could differ significantly. Always factor in these additional costs when planning your shipment to avoid unexpected expenses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-5610-24-0-8\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor\" data-index=\"67\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h3>Step 6 - Calculate the Customs Duties<\/h3>\n<p>Discover how to efficiently calculate customs duties for imports from the UK to Switzerland with our easy-to-use, three-part formula.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Part 1: Add your goods' value to freight and insurance costs to obtain the Customs Value. For example, if your goods cost 5,000$ and freight and insurance amount to 650$, your customs value will be $5,650.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Part 2: Multiply the Customs Value by the duty rate (let's say it's 10%). So, $5,650 x 0.10 equals $565.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Part 3: If you have no VAT, stop here. Your total customs duty will be $565. If you do have VAT (usually 7.7%), include it. So, $5,650 (Customs Value) x 0.077 (VAT) equals an additional $434.05.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Putting it all together, your total duty with VAT would be $999.05 ($565 + $434.05).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000\"><strong>Finally, for goods subject to both VAT and anti-dumping taxes (say, another 5%) and Excise Duty, you'll need to add those as well. Using the same Customs Value: $5,650 x 0.05 (anti-dumping) equals $282.50, and let's imagine that the Excise Duty is an additional $100. Total duty in this case would be $1,381.55 ($999.05 + $282.50 + $100).<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>At DocShipper, we know these calculations and regulations can get complex.
