# eVV (electronic assessment decision)

*Last updated: 2026-06-28*

> The eVV (elektronische Veranlagungsverfügung, electronic assessment decision) is the Swiss customs (BAZG) digital record of a completed customs assessment – in plain terms the electronic "customs receipt" that replaces the former paper document.

The eVV (elektronische Veranlagungsverfügung, electronic assessment decision) is the Swiss customs (BAZG) digital record of a completed customs assessment – in plain terms the electronic "customs receipt" that replaces the former paper document. It serves as proof of import or export clearance and as evidence of the duties levied (e.g. import VAT and customs duty). A distinction is made between the import eVV (clearance and VAT record) and the export eVV (proof of export); electronic retrieval has been mandatory since 2018. For freight forwarders, hauliers and trading companies the eVV is the key document for accounting, input-VAT deduction and the statutory retention obligation. Retrieval – separately from e-dec or, newly, from Passar depending on the source system – is possible in three ways: via customs software through an API interface, via the BAZG ePortal (with registration), or with an access code without registration. Registered retrieval requires the UID to be entered in the customs client administration (ZKV); access-code retrieval only needs the declaration number and code provided by the customs service provider. Distinction: "Veranlagungsverfügung" denotes the assessment decision in general, "eVV" its electronic form; the eBordereau is the related collective duties record. Related terms: assessment decision, Passar, e-dec, customs client administration (ZKV), goods declaration, BAZG. As of June 2026.
