Internationale Spedition und Logistik FA (Switzerland) cheat sheet
Internationale Spedition und Logistik FA (Switzerland) · Keep the key ideas within reach.
Landverkehr
Check the full collection-to-delivery chain, not only driving time.
Verify usable space, mass distribution, access, unloading, and securing.
Match road or combined service to actual handling and timing needs.
Apply current Swiss route and driver requirements; urgency is not a permit.
Track real handovers and authorize material address changes.
Compare complete charge scope and transparent service assumptions.
Seefracht
FCL/LCL describes service organization, not universal physical utilization.
Check the container, door access, load distribution, packing, and restraint.
Packed-container gross mass includes tare and relevant packing components.
Booking does not replace the applicable VGM process.
Distinguish arrival, release readiness, documentary control, and delivery.
Read local-charge events and free time from the actual agreement.
Zoll und Aussenhandel
Use Swiss BAZG procedures and current actual rollout guidance.
Classify actual goods from sufficient technical information.
Dispatch, purchase location, and preferential origin are different.
Preference needs the applicable rule, procedure, and supporting evidence.
Goods and transport declarations have linked but different roles.
A zero duty or customs release does not settle every other requirement.
Luftfracht
Flight time is only part of actual delivery time.
Confirm aircraft, access, station, product, and operator suitability.
Apply only the stated actual tariff divisor, minimum, and surcharges.
Map house/master information and split movements accurately.
Security and dangerous-goods safety have different purposes.
Manage waiting and exception conditions for sensitive cargo.
Transportrecht und Versicherung
Determine the actual role, contract, and applicable mandatory framework.
A transport document is not every contract or ownership issue.
Carrier liability and cargo insurance are distinct.
Read conditions, exclusions, deductibles, and relevant current limits.
Preserve evidence and mitigate further loss safely.
Review actual notification and limitation requirements promptly.
Gefahrgut und Logistik
Identify the actual product and obtain competent classification.
A UN number or safety data sheet is not complete shipment authorization.
Check each mode and actual configuration; do not assume transferability.
Use suitable packaging, marks, documents, compatibility, and trained roles.
Treat leaks, damage, and uncertainty through safe qualified processes.
Trace lots and conditions; available storage must actually be suitable.
