As part of the ‘DaziT’ transformation programme of the Swiss Federal Customs Authority, the IT landscape for customs processes will be renewed: The current IT systems ‘NCTS’ and ‘e-dec’ will be replaced by a new system ‘Passar’ within the next four years in phases.

In the initial stage, the transit and export process will be moved from NCTS and e-dec Export to Passar 1.0 by 1 June 2023. In a second step, the import process will be transitioned from e-dec Import to Passar 2.0 by 31 December 2024 with a parallel operation for six months, concluding in the deactivation of the old e-dec Import system by 1 July 2025. With version 3.0 of Passar, all the special provisions for goods and functions will then be available on Passar.
