Moving to Zurich (by plane) outside custom hours

That would be correct.

You don't have to list everything, a box of clothes would be enough. See FAQ of Swiss customs: https://www.ezv.admin.ch/ezv/en/home...val-goods.html

Tourists can bring whatever, main difference is that they'll take that things out.

When you move here, you're not going out, and you'll become resident. Residents have limit that's not taxable for import. You as someone who is moving whole household have a 'discount'.

I think they don't care if you have one move trip with two suitcases.

However, you're still legally obliged to report it.

And most important - if you will have subsequent trips, you HAVE to do this full process in order to be on the safe side.

I was on the zoll/border DE-CH the other day to check how to do our move, and only difference between what doropfiz wrote is that officer told me that all vehicles have to be on that form, no matter when they'r imported, but concerning list of other stuff - they need list only for the stuff you're currently bringing in.

And then you'll get the number, which you'll then put on any subsequent forms for further trips.

And yes, summary of items is perfectly fine - 2x suitcases of clothes, a laptop.

Indeed. I've never declared anything when bringing stuff into Switzerland, including when I first moved here.

How did the move go? Did you declare anything?

All I remember from moving in Switzerland is I was able to bring a crazy quantity of wine with no taxe to pay
