"Federal Council decision DaziT" refers to the decisions of the Federal Council and Parliament that financed and commissioned the modernisation and digitalisation of Swiss customs (the DaziT programme). In plain terms: the political basis on which the Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (BAZG, formerly the Federal Customs Administration FCA) is replacing its legacy systems with the new Passar goods-traffic system.

Key facts: On 15 February 2017 the Federal Council adopted the "Dispatch on financing the modernisation and digitalisation of the Federal Customs Administration (DaziT programme)"; on 12 September 2017 the Federal Assembly approved the total credit of CHF 393 million, divided into several guarantee credits. The programme runs until the end of the 2020s. Note on the name: "Dazi" is the Romansh word for "customs" and the appended "T" stands for transformation – DaziT is therefore a programme name, not a spelled-out acronym.

For freight forwarders, hauliers and trading firms the decision means the gradual, mandatory migration of customs clearance to Passar (export and transit since 2026, import by 2027, special procedures from 2028). Distinction: the Federal Council decision is the political and financial framework, DaziT is the transformation programme, and Passar is the central IT solution arising from it. Related terms: DaziT, Passar, BAZG, e-dec, ePortal, BAZG Implementation Tasks Act. Status: June 2026.
