Industry: Retail federation backs proposed duties for foreign online marketplaces
In short
Swiss Retail Federation supports proposed registration and cooperation duties for foreign online marketplaces, a responsible person in Switzerland and a risk-based supervisory levy on direct imports. In its consultation response on two legislative revisions, the association rejects a separate Swiss digital product passport for now. The measures remain proposals.
What it means for suppliers
- Foreign marketplaces used to reach Swiss consumers would have to register, cooperate and appoint a responsible person in Switzerland under the proposed rules.
- The proposed risk-based supervisory levy would cover products shipped directly from abroad to consumers in Switzerland.
- The association identifies manufacturers and upstream actors as primarily responsible for providing product data, conformity evidence and safety information.
