Question 1

What is the difference between the tracks?

Accepted Answer

Three entry points, one single operational partner:

1) International trade: we oversee purchases, sales and logistics through our Swiss structure, on all markets, without relocating production.

2) Manufacturing in Switzerland: you transfer a phase of the production cycle to Switzerland, even starting from a pilot batch with contract manufacturers.

3) Export to China: we build access to the Chinese market, from import requirements to distributors, leveraging Swiss origin where possible.

Question 2

Can I import or sell without a structure in Switzerland?

Accepted Answer

Yes: with the International trade track we oversee suppliers, buyers, documents and logistics through our structure, without you having to set up anything in Switzerland.

Question 3

How much does it cost to manufacture in Switzerland?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the product, the processes and the volumes. That is why the feasibility study includes a business case with real costs: contract manufacturers or facilities, personnel, compliance. You often start with a pilot batch with a contained investment and scale up only if the numbers work.

Question 4

Can my product obtain Swiss origin or the Swiss Made label?

Accepted Answer

It depends on precise legal criteria, such as the share of added value and the essential phases carried out in Switzerland. We verify this against the regulations and with qualified consultants before any claim: no promises, only verifications.

Question 5

With production in Switzerland do I pay less duty towards China?

Accepted Answer

The latest Switzerland–China free trade agreement is a commitment between governments, not a private initiative, which produces a real economic advantage for exported Swiss products, but only for those that comply with the rules of origin provided by the agreement. The correct answer comes from analysing the specific customs code: it is the first step of our study.

Question 6

Do you find the contract manufacturers and production partners?

Accepted Answer

Yes: we select workshops, laboratories and producers able to carry out your processes, we verify capacity, quality and references and we collect quotations for comparison.

Question 7

Can you search for a facility or a laboratory?

Accepted Answer

Yes: we identify production facilities, warehouses and laboratories, verifying permitted use, installations and constraints before any commitment. We only present options that have already been verified.

Question 8

Can you set up the company in Switzerland?

Accepted Answer

We coordinate the formation with qualified professionals — notaries, fiduciaries, tax consultants: the correct legal structure, without you having to manage the bureaucracy. We remain your single operational counterpart.

Question 9

Can you manage orders, warehouse and shipments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that is our ongoing operational management: orders, production coordination, documentation, shipments and non-conformity management, with periodic reporting.

Question 10

Do you know Chinese regulations and can you find distributors in China?

Accepted Answer

We verify import requirements, registrations and labelling in Chinese, and we support the search for importers and distributors with local commercial assistance. The Chinese market must be built methodically: that is exactly what we do.

Question 11

How long does it take to start a project?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the track: a commercial flow can start within a few weeks; a production setup generally requires a few months. In the feasibility study we indicate realistic timings and milestones.

Question 12

How much does the preliminary assessment cost? And the projects?

Accepted Answer

The preliminary assessment is free and non-binding: it helps both of us understand whether a real basis for collaboration exists. The following steps are quoted with a transparent offer before starting — no standard price, the cost depends on the product, the sector and complexity.

Question 13

Which companies do you work with?

Accepted Answer

With manufacturing and trading SMEs, European and non-European. Large volumes are not required: what matters is the quality of the product and the seriousness of the project. The working language is Italian, with support in English and German.

Question 14

How do you handle the data I send with the form?

Accepted Answer

Data is used exclusively to respond to your request, in compliance with the Swiss nFADP and the GDPR. It is neither transferred to third parties nor used for other purposes without consent.
