I am planning to get Swiss number plate for my EU car.

Long post bcz of 200 rules, skip to last paragraph plz.

I declared my car in custom office in Basel and got this form but it is almost empty. Did it on Saturday and it was just me most of the time in front of the counter. The officer was quite chill and I was assisted politely.
Took about 20 minutes to process the whole thing.
He asked me casually if I have bought furniture and other stuffs with me. I had only clothes and some personal items and told him that I will buy furniture in Switzerland.

I was glade that the process went smoothly and got the form 13.20 A. He gave me the other paper that I filled in as proof of submission and he signed it.
He also told that I have one year time to get Swiss number plate.

I did not care much about the details on the form 13.20 A back then. Only sections: Marke und Typ, chassis no, and Stammnummer filled by officer at boarder.

Is this how the form is supposed to be?

  1. No, the 13.20A is meant for the importer not you since you’re neither the holder of the type certificate nor seem to know the number.

    If you want to declare it yourself (I wouldn’t) you need the 13.20B form and you need to fill it as much as possible.
