- Border crossing
- Clearance at the border with prepared documents – allow time for it.
- Out and back
- Loan and demo units return; the customs procedure should take this into account.
- Driving bans
- Night and Sunday driving ban for trucks in Switzerland.
- Destinations
- Research, medical technology, precision industry.
