Why ship Nepali handicrafts via iWishBag to Switzerland?

  • iWishBag serves the South Asian and SEA diaspora in Switzerland who want products from Flipkart, Myntra, Daraz Nepal, Rakuten, and other origin-only retailers.

  • iWishBag handles Swiss customs paperwork — Switzerland is outside the EU customs union, so cross-border imports follow Swiss-specific procedures.

  • Last-mile delivery covers Zurich, Geneva, Basel, Bern, Lausanne, and the rest of Switzerland.

Switzerland customs

Switzerland applies 8.1% Mehrwertsteuer (VAT) plus customs duty on imports above the de-minimis threshold. iWishBag pre-clears both into the quote and handles Eidgenössische Zollverwaltung clearance.
