Basel-Stadt is the customs gateway of the Swiss corridor: Basel sits approximately 1,200 km from our Barcelona hub at the tripoint where Switzerland, France and Germany meet. LTL groupage covers the city-canton with a 3-4 day transit on thrice-weekly departures, and customs clearance happens at the Basel crossing itself.

The canton's freight profile is dominated by the global pharmaceutical industry — Roche and Novartis both have their headquarters here, though their major Swiss production sits outside the canton — Novartis at Schweizerhalle and Stein, Roche at Kaiseraugst. Basel's Messe convention complex, the Art Basel ecosystem and the Rhine port add logistics, cultural-equipment and specialised-shipping demand.
Switzerland is not an EU member — customs clearance is required. Basel is our customs-clearance gateway for all Swiss shipments. SAVA coordinates T1 transit documentation through licensed broker partners.
Basel and Riehen cover the city-canton — Basel dominates pharmaceutical, convention and Rhine-port freight.
