From e-dec to Passar: dates and steps for Swiss SMEs
Updated · Rotomal
The last import declaration on e-dec and e-dec Web can be filed on 30 September 2027; after that imports are declared only in Passar, and e-dec Web is replaced by Declar. Every company must register itself in the ePortal as a business partner, gets a GP-ID instead of its ZAZ account, and needs the right roles: «Dokumentenbezug im Warenverkehr» for decisions and invoices, «Fracht» if it files itself.
Dates
| When | What |
|---|---|
| Since Q2 2026 | Passar import pilot (expansion steps 1 and 2), only after registering with the BAZG |
| Since 1 Sept 2026 | Basic functions in the Finanzas portal |
| By end of Q3 2027 | e-dec Web replaced by Declar, transport declarations first, then goods declarations |
| 30 Sept 2027 | Last import declaration on e-dec and e-dec Web |
What you need to do
- Register in the ePortal as a business partner to get your GP-ID. One GP-ID per UID; branches get one via their BUR-ID.
- Request the «Dokumentenbezug im Warenverkehr» role; the BAZG recommends it for receiving decisions and invoices, even if a forwarder files for you.
- Request the «Fracht» role if you file yourself.
- Set up document collection in Chartera Output; PDF invoices by email end.
- Clarify securities and existing direct debits with the BAZG.
- Tell your bookkeeper about the two invoices: VAT with 60 days, other duties with 5 days to pay.
