Passar (Swiss customs system)

Passar is the new digital goods-traffic system of the Swiss Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (BAZG), replacing e-dec. Passar 1.0 for export and transit has been mandatory since 1 January 2026, and Passar 2.0 for import follows from Q2 2026.

In context

Passar is the central platform on which all Swiss customs declarations are lodged as structured messages and assessed. Export, transit and import converge in a single system.
