Hi all,
I will be moving all my stuff from Germany to Geneva in the next weeks, around 10 cubic meters. As I have been working for the UN in Cyprus, I have not been officially residing in Germany for over a year and a half. I just moved to Geneva two weeks ago.
Does anyone know if I will have to pay custom duties? Or does anyone know where I can get information about this?
Thanks

If you're still contracted to the UN and have a certain level, I think anything over P1 (ask your internal HR people) you should be able to get either a lump sum or get them to pay for your move.
Looking through what your company can offer you is the first move.
Then try AGED. "The members of AGED are available, with a simple phone call, to establish a quotation without any engagement on your part."

Check in GenevaOnline, Geneva Info section for more info.

I found the website of Swiss customs quite helpful. Check out this link:
http://www.ezv.admin.ch/zollinfo_privat/zu_beachten/00352/index.html?lang=de
Essentially, if you officially move to Switzerland you have to export your household goods from the country you are leaving and then give the list to the Swiss customs. That way you shouldn't have to pay for anything that's part and parcel of a normal household. It was no problem for me (moving from D to CH, customs in Basel).
Hope this helps,
Tatty
