Is it necessary to clear customs in Zurich

Upvote:4

Yes, you're entering another country. It's really that simple. As in many other countries, clearing customs mostly mean walking through the exit, not necessarily stopping or talking to anyone. In Zurich, like elsewhere in Europe, there are also green and red markings. You are only supposed to follow the green signs if you know you have nothing to declare. Otherwise, it's your responsibility to approach a customs officer.

Incidentally, Switzerland is not in the EU so you would need to clear customs no matter where you come from. For EU countries and connections, it gets a little more complicated (there is a distinction between hold and hand luggage for example) but you can always expect to have to clear customs somewhere when leaving the UK.
