# BAZG Enforcement Task Act Switzerland

*Last updated: 2026-09-06*

> Unlike Switzerland's general Customs Act (ZG), the BAZG Enforcement Task Act defines the organisational framework and specific enforcement powers of the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (BAZG).

Unlike Switzerland's general Customs Act (ZG), the BAZG Enforcement Task Act defines the organisational framework and specific enforcement powers of the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (BAZG). It determines which authority carries out inspections, goods examinations, and enforcement actions at the border and inland. For freight forwarders and shippers, this translates into clear jurisdictional boundaries, defined procedural channels, and a legally secure basis for objections or refund claims. The act forms part of the broader reform that merged Switzerland's former Border Guard Corps and Customs Administration into the BAZG.
