Key facts
Through the DaziT programme, the Federal Customs Administration (FCA) is undergoing a comprehensive transformation, due to end in 2026. The aim is to simplify border processes, customs, tax and duty collection through digitalisation, to reduce regulatory and procedural costs and to increase security through more effective checks. Parliament approved over CHF 393 million in funding for the modernisation and digitalisation of the FCA in 2017. In April 2019, the Federal Council decided on the new organisational structure of the FCA, which will now be called the “Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (FOCBS)”.
