Hi Chris
As Finland is an EU member and the UK is (however unwilling) still
also an EU member (but not Schengen) they are both part of the Customs
union, and you will pay no duty on goods from Finland or any other EU
member.
Switzerland is the other way round. It is part of Schengen so we have
open borders, but is not (yet) part of the EU, so we are outside the
customs union, and have to pay import on Parcels.
Even worse, if the parcels are expedited via the Swiss Post, then they
take ages to clear, and I get hit by a processing fee that is often
higher than the import duty ...
Grüsse
Chris

Ciao Andrea
That was new to me, but I have now entered my details.
It looks like Switzerland and Norway have received no deliveries at
all yet.
And when it is finally sent, then there will be the additional delay
of the Swiss Customs ...
Is any import duty payable when the phone hits customs? I'm curious
whether customs in the UK will hold up the phone or whether I really
will get it before Christmas - status is shown 'Picking'.
Patience is required.
Indeed.
