What documents are needed to ship goods from India to Switzerland?
Short answer
To ship goods from India to Switzerland, an exporter needs an Importer-Exporter Code, a shipping bill filed on ICEGATE, a commercial invoice, a packing list and a transport document.
India has India-EFTA Trade and Economic Partnership Agreement (TEPA) in force with Switzerland, so a preferential certificate of origin may apply.
