Registration on the ePortal in 10 steps.
Complete guide to creating your profile on the federal ePortal and obtaining the GP-ID required for the new PASSAR customs system.
Why register on the ePortal
With the introduction of PASSAR, every company operating with Swiss customs must obtain a business partner ID (GP-ID). This unique identification code, linked to the company's UID number, is obtained by registering on the federal ePortal.
Registration does not occur automatically: each company must complete it independently. The FOCBS does not transfer existing PCD accounts. Those who do not register in time will be unable to receive customs invoices in their own name.
