Activ

Speed up border crossings with Activ, the official Swiss customs app designed for commercial goods transport. Whether you're a transport company or driver, this app streamlines customs clearance and eliminates unnecessary delays at border posts.

Activ transforms how you handle cross-border transit. Instead of waiting in queues, you pre-declare your shipment digitally, allowing automatic activation of your customs declaration the moment you arrive. The result: non-stop passage through the border post (except where physical inspections are required), extended customs clearance hours, and real-time guidance throughout the entire process. All you need is a mobile connection—the app is completely free to use.

For transit shipments, the workflow is refreshingly simple. Enter your vehicle's number plate details, then use your smartphone camera to scan the T1/T2 (MRN) documents. When you reach the border, just show the result on your screen to customs officers. No paperwork shuffling, no missed details.

For export declarations, Activ offers two flexible options. With the remote loading function, a transport declaration link arrives directly on your smartphone. Confirm your vehicle details and go—you'll only need to display the result at the border crossing. Alternatively, use the DTS scan function to capture your digital transport slip, add your vehicle information, and proceed with the same streamlined border experience.

The app's real-time guidance keeps you informed at every step, reducing confusion and preventing costly compliance errors. Transport companies benefit from faster turnaround times and happier drivers, while individual drivers enjoy a smoother, less stressful crossing experience.

Designed by the Swiss Customs Administration with the needs of professional drivers and logistics operators in mind, Activ represents a significant modernization of Switzerland's border processes. Download Activ today and reclaim the hours you've spent waiting at border posts.
