Switzerland's Customs: Will they accept items from TCM (Chinese Medicine)?
score:3
Accepted answer
Switzerland’s restrictions on the import of plants are outlined here:
Swiss Customs Administration – Plants, cut flowers and protection of species (CITES)
There is some more detailed information regarding the import of medicinal plants on the Web site of the Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office, but only in German, French and Italian.
Some species cannot be imported for reasons of bio-security, while others may be permitted but must be inspected. Otherwise, Switzerland is a member of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which publishes a long list of species in which trade is restricted and for which import and/or export permits are required.
Of the plants you listed, ginseng root is in CITES Appendix II and requires an import permit (though powders and other derivatives are exempt); the others are not mentioned.
