Checking the status, selection result, and version

With every customs declaration (import or export), you will receive a status code that informs you about the status of the import declaration or export declaration. Furthermore, every declared item will receive a selection result that informs you whether controls are to be initiated. Customs Management will determine a selection result for the complete customs declaration (import or export) from the items:

Blocked if at least one contained item is blocked. The declared goods remain in the custody of the customs administration. You may only export/import the goods after completion of a formal control and a possible examination.
Free with if at least one contained item is "free with" and no item is blocked. You may export/import the declared goods immediately or after the customs examination has been completed. The customs office will carry out the formal control retroactively.
Free without if none of the contained items is "free with" or blocked. You may export/import the declared goods immediately or after the customs examination has been completed. No formal control will take place.

Customs will also assign a version to import declarations and export declarations.

Proceed as follows to check the status code and selection result:

Go to Customs − Switzerland − Export declarations (CH) or Import declarations (CH).
The Sel. result (selection result) column shows the result for the customs declaration (import or export).
Open a customs declaration (import or export).
Below the Assistant pane, the Notes section displays information about the status code and the selection result of the import declaration or export declaration.
Switch to the Customs information sheet.
Here you will find detailed information on the status code, the selection result, the timestamps, and the transmitted customs messages.
Switch to the Items sheet.
The Sel. result (selection result) column shows the selection result of the individual items.

Proceed as follows to check the version number:

Go to Customs − Switzerland − Export declarations (CH) or Import declarations (CH).
Open a customs declaration (import or export).
Check import declaration: In the Import declaration sheet, you can find the version of the open import declaration in the References field group behind the CRN field.
