Swiss Post is the national postal service of Switzerland. Created in 1675. Currently, they are one of the leading postal companies in Europe.
The Principality of Liechtenstein is also included in the Swiss postal code system. The German enclave of Büsingen a. H. and the Italian enclave of Campione d'Italia each have their own Swiss postal codes in addition to their national ones.
The Swiss Post provides services not only to individuals or legal entities in Switzerland, but also to large logistics companies.

The CHF 300 exemption limit applies only to passenger transport, i.e. if you cross the border in person. The Federal Customs Administration has stipulated the following for freight transport: There is an exemption limit of CHF 5 for both VAT and customs duties. If this is exceeded, the goods must go through import customs clearance.
Customs duties are calculated based on the customs tariff number (type of goods) and the weight. If the charges exceed CHF 5, the goods undergo import customs clearance regardless of the value of the goods.

Goods purchased on the Internet do not satisfy these conditions. They are subject to duty in accordance with the general provisions.
