you must first import it. 8% tva and 4% customs duty on purchase price.

depending on if it is new or old, you may have to get it safety checked and swiss registered.

personally, i feel it's not worth the hassle.

Thanks Epicure do I need to pay an import tax even though its already been here 4 months? Its 4 years old and mint so not worried in the slightest about it having to go through tests as its the same spec as a swiss bikes.

thanks

You need to pay import tax only if you have owned the bike for less than one year in the UK. I brought my bike over, and registered it here, went through all the procedures no problem. You can get a from from the nearest customs , and have it added to your personal effects , when you brought it over. I didnt have any issues at all, i got the papers from the nearest customs post, whcih gives you a number, which is then used to create your number plate. ( swiss) . Once you have that you take it to the strassenverkheersamt, and have the bike tested for a swiss MOT. ONce you have that they issue a swiss plate. Please be aware though you may have to change your disk brakes and headlights. Swiss law requires a minimum of 5mm on your disks. If you have twin UK headlights on your bike, you ll have to change them for Euro ones. Hope this helps. 

This is something to agree with. Only thing I found out when inquiering, the period of ownership in the home country needs to be longer then 6 months not to pay tax in Switzerland.

If you had it less then that, you can get it on Swiss plates by filling out a form saying it's your personal belonging, meaning you can use it here but before selling it you must pay Swiss tax.

Now if you fit into the tax paying category then the procedure as describeed by  Karl will apply.

Thanks guys I have owned the bike just a shade over six months now so will have a proper dg around this weekend. Headlight shine the right way I checked last night sounds really simple.... How much is a Swiss MOT etc ? Also where would one go about selling the bike I have genuinley no clue.

Thanks

swiss MOT will set you back around 250chf including the road testand plate. They send you an invoice for it.  Depends on the Kanton, but they are usually pretty good. you do need to make an appointment though first. You will also have to arrange swiss insurance on it, but you can do that with the paper from customs. You will need to take the insurance doc with you when you have the bike tested. The insurance company use that number on the import doc to insure the bike. once you have the plate, the verkheersamt will automatically inform the insurance co. So you can just ride away. If you want to sell it , try www.ricardo.ch or automarkt.ch.. As long as you have a good bike, and can show the papers to  any potential buyer, with a fsh you should be ok. good luck
