One for everything!
No more individual connections to customs clearance, parcel and returns systems. Swiss Post provides a modern REST API interface for SmartGate Direct as the only decoupling point for you. We take care of everything else in the background. With this solution, we offer a standardized, efficient interface that significantly simplifies the integration of various logistics services into your system landscape. By using our REST API, developers can connect quickly and easily, which shortens implementation time and reduces operating costs. We offer a robust, scalable solution that is designed to grow with your business and adapt to changing market demands. By offering all key logistics services through a single touchpoint, we ensure that your supply chain always runs efficiently and without disruption.
The direct route to your customers
Stopovers at customs offices in Switzerland or at the border are not necessary. We clear your goods for import directly at one of our parcel centers in the west, north, east or south of Switzerland - depending on where you come from. In this way, we keep distances short, save CO2 and your shipments reach your customers efficiently. This ensures that your products arrive at their destination quickly and in an environmentally friendly way. In addition, we understand that reliability and speed in the supply chain are crucial to remain competitive. Our centrally located customs clearance centers are strategically positioned to ensure fast processing and routing of your imports. By minimizing bureaucratic hurdles and simplifying customs clearance, we can significantly reduce the overall turnaround time of your shipments. This strengthens your brand image through consistent performance and sustainable practices.
No BOCK on TARES - No problem!
Our customs systems and customs professionals translate the tariff numbers of the country of origin into the Swiss tariff system TARES - and all this "on the fly". You do not have to maintain this data in your systems, which relieves your company of the need to maintain constantly updated customs databases or make manual entries. Your goods will be able to cross the border faster and with less bureaucracy. Our system is continuously updated to reflect changes in international and national customs regulations, ensuring security and compliance. By freeing up your resources from these time-consuming tasks, you can better focus your capacity on strategic business goals while increasing efficiency in the logistics chain.

Returns? Easy as pie!
Processing returns can be a headache - SmartGate Direct makes it easy for you: We work with your data from the outbound shipment. You don't have to worry about paying customs duties again when re-importing. Fully digitized, you can start immediately. We provide you with the necessary documents and data - including a red thread for the outbound shipment. This seamless integration of data ensures that the return process runs as efficiently and smoothly as possible. You benefit from an automated system that saves time and minimizes sources of error by making all relevant information immediately available. In addition, we ensure that all customs formalities for the reimport are already clarified in advance so that there are no unnecessary delays or additional costs. With SmartGate Direct, the return shipment is as easy as the original shipment, and you can concentrate fully on your core business.
