E-commerceThe 3 -franc chat laser on Shein will cost 500 in the end
A Saint-Galloise ordered an object without knowing that it was prohibited in Switzerland. No bowl, customs fell on it.
You have to make sure that what is commanded abroad is authorized in Switzerland.
Images IMAGO/Pond5“Come on, caramel, jump!” This is how a German domiciled in Saint-Gall wanted to play with her cat thanks to a laser pointer ordered on the Chinese online store Shein, to highlight its facetious animal. But instead of the object, at the rate of 3 francs, it is a customs opinion that she received. His package had been seized, controlled, and that’s it, it’s fine.
What the buyer did not know is that the laser in question was not approved in Switzerland. The law specifies via a list which are tolerated in our country. If the one we want to obtain there, then it is prohibited, among other things to avoid eye injury.
You had to think about it before
In the criminal ordinance that Saint-Galloise has received, the prosecution said: “The accused is accused of not having to inform the legal situation before ordering. She should have inquired about the legality of her purchase, especially since she knew that the laser pointer would be sent from another country. ”
It is therefore a fine of 100 francs which was sent to him, in place of the laser, which will be destroyed. In addition, legal costs are 400 francs. Note that Saint-Galloise can appeal.
