Informations sur la TVA et les douanes
La Suisse est en dehors du système de TVA de l'UECela signifie que les achats effectués auprès de fournisseurs de l'UE ne peuvent pas être simplement facturés avec la TVA de l'UE comme s'il s'agissait de la France ou de l'Allemagne. Au lieu de cela, les biens entrant en Suisse sont traités comme importations et nécessitent un dédouanement approprié.
Swish & Click s'en charge pour vous dans le cadre de DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) (livrés droits acquittés) (sauf demande ou exigence contraire). Cela signifie que :

Besoin d'une livraison au-delà de la Suisse ?
La Suisse a beau être petite géographiquement, elle abrite quelques-uns des plus grands noms de l'Europe. les plus grandes entreprises, banques, ONG et organisations internationales du monde entier. Pour ces clients, les besoins en merchandising s'arrêtent rarement à Zurich, Genève ou Bâle. Les campagnes sont régionales ou mondiales et couvrent plusieurs pays de l'UE, le Royaume-Uni, et souvent les États-Unis ou l'Asie.
C'est ici que effondrement des distributeurs locaux suisses:
- Ils peuvent livrer en Suisse (lentement et à un coût élevé), mais dès que vous demandez Paris, Berlin, Londres ou New York, ils ne peuvent pas s'occuper de la conformité, de la TVA ou de la logistique.
- Vous perdez du temps à jongler cinq fournisseurs différentsChacun d'entre eux a ses propres prix, ses propres procédures douanières et ses propres délais.
- Le résultat ? Une image de marque incohérente, des coûts plus élevés et des campagnes qui perdent de leur impact parce qu'elles sont fragmentées.
Swish & Click est conçu pour résoudre ce problème. Nous fournissons :
- Livraison dans toute l'UE selon les règles de TVA de l'UE (directive 2006/112/CE et système OSS), garantissant que vos filiales européennes reçoivent les marchandises sans droits de douane ni coûts cachés.
- Couverture du Royaume-Uni avec dédouanement completGrâce à notre enregistrement EORI auprès de l'UE et à nos partenaires de fret établis au Royaume-Uni, nous sommes en mesure de vous offrir un service de qualité.

- Support multilingue en espagnol, français, italien et anglais - indispensable pour coordonner les projets entre le siège suisse, les bureaux de l'UE et les succursales à l'étranger.
Imaginez ce scénario :
- Nestlé à Vevey lance une campagne paneuropéenne. Au lieu d'engager un distributeur suisse pour la Suisse, un distributeur français pour Paris et un autre pour l'Allemagne, vous travaillez avec un partenaire - Swish & Click.
- Nous livrons marchandises de marque identiques à des bureaux en Suisse, en France, en Allemagne, au Royaume-Uni et en Irlande - tous avec les mêmes normes de conformité, la même structure de prix et les mêmes garanties de livraison.
- Votre directeur des ressources humaines ou du marketing ne s'occupe que de un seul point de contact.
Ou prenez une ONG internationale à Genève :
- Ils ont besoin de matériel pour une campagne qui se déroule simultanément en Suisse, en Belgique, au Kenya et aux États-Unis. Un fournisseur suisse lèverait les bras au ciel.
- Avec Swish & Click, l'UE, les livraisons se déroulent sans problème dans le cadre de la législation européenne, tandis que nos partenaires d'Extrême-Orient s'occupent de l'approvisionnement en eau et de l'assainissement. transferts intercontinentauxLe produit est entièrement dédouané.

Le problème majeur auquel les entreprises suisses sont confrontées avec les distributeurs locaux
Voici la vérité désagréable que personne en Suisse ne veut admettre : Les distributeurs locaux de produits promotionnels sont un piège.
- Trop petit pour être important : La plupart des distributeurs suisses sont des micro-entreprises disposant de quelques catalogues et d'une poignée d'employés. Ils n'ont pas de stock, ne contrôlent pas la logistique et n'ont pas de portée internationale. Ils survivent en revendant des produits européens à des prix exagérés.
- Prix excessif de par sa conception : Comme ils n'ont pas d'échelle, ils ont recours à des majorations excessives, à des "frais de services locaux" et à des coûts cachés enfouis dans les petits caractères. Ce qui devrait être un stylo de marque à 3 euros devient 7 francs suisses une fois qu'ils ont fini d'ajouter leurs couches.
- Lenteur et bureaucratie : Demandez un catalogue ou un devis et vous attendrez une semaine. Demandez des maquettes et ça traîne. Les entreprises suisses sont habituées à attendre, mais en 2025, ce n'est pas du professionnalisme, c'est de l'incompétence.
- Pas d'expertise en matière de conformité : Douanes, TVA, EORI, OSS - ce sont des mots étrangers pour la plupart des distributeurs locaux. Nombreux sont ceux qui ne peuvent expliquer pourquoi votre facture est retardée, pourquoi vos marchandises sont bloquées à la frontière ou pourquoi vous avez soudainement reçu une facture douanière inattendue.
Comparez maintenant cela à Swish & Click:
- 10 000+ produits provenant de fournisseurs européens vérifiés et disponibles immédiatement - et non pas quelques centaines de tasses et de stylos génériques.
- Dédouanement complet (DDP) - chaque commande arrive avec les droits de douane et la TVA déjà pris en charge. Une seule facture, pas de surprises, pas d'appels téléphoniques de panique de la part des courtiers en douane.
- Une tarification transparente - notre échelle nous permet de supprimer les intermédiaires. Les distributeurs suisses ajoutent 30 à 50 % pour exister. Nous livrons les mêmes produits directement à partir des centres de distribution de l'UE, au prix le plus juste.
- Vitesse et précision : Devis en heures, pas en jours. Maquettes dans la même semaine. Des dates de livraison garanties. Nous répondons aux attentes des Suisses en matière de précision, mais nous les surpassons en matière d'efficacité.
👉 Les fournisseurs suisses veulent vous faire croire les commandes transfrontalières sont risquées. Ils véhiculent le mythe selon lequel la Suisse est "trop compliquée" pour les étrangers. Mais voici la réalité : ils s'appuient sur ce mythe pour vous enfermer dans leur modèle dépassé et hors de prix.
Swish & Click prouve le contraire :
- Il est moins cherparce que nous nous approvisionnons à l'échelle de l'UE.
- Il est plus rapideNous sommes en mesure d'offrir des services de qualité à nos clients, car notre chaîne d'approvisionnement s'étend sur toute l'Europe.
- Il est plus conformeNous sommes en mesure de vous fournir des informations sur la TVA de l'UE, l'EORI et la législation suisse en matière d'importation, qui sont entièrement intégrées dans notre système.
Les entreprises suisses sont fières de leur précision et de leur efficacité. lent, trop cher et limité de votre distributeur ?
👉 Le choix est simple : rester coincé avec de petits intermédiaires suisses, ou passer à un partenaire qui vous offre l'échelle européenne avec la précision suisse.
8) International clients wanting delivery to the UK (US / EU / global HQ → UK address)
Yes — we do this constantly: a US/EU/global company pays the invoice, but the goods go to a UK office, UK event, UK employees, or a UK client location.
VAT treatment (easy version):
For UK deliveries, VAT is always handled in a clear, UK-appropriate way — and it typically falls into one of these clean structures:
- UK domestic fulfilment: VAT is treated as a UK supply (shown correctly on the invoice once UK VAT registration is active).
- Imported into the UK: VAT is handled as UK import VAT through customs, and the quote states who pays it (customer/importer route or all-in route).
The most important thing for international buyers:
VAT is based on where the goods physically go (the UK), not where your HQ is. So we focus on making delivery to the UK simple: no confusion, no surprise bills, no “we’ll see later”.
Who invoices you:
- For UK deliveries, we invoice international clients primarily from Swish & Click Ltd (UK) for UK-facing contracting clarity.
- Where an EU client needs an EU-facing invoicing structure for internal procurement reasons, we can invoice from Swish & Click OÜ (Estonia) — and we still keep the UK delivery VAT/customs handling stated clearly on the quote.
9) Lead times — how long does this take (in real terms)?
Lead time is made of three parts: product availability + branding/production + shipping. We keep this simple by giving you one clear “go-live” timeline on the quote.
Typical rule of thumb:
- Standard production: often 5–10 working days after artwork approval (varies by product and branding method).
- UK delivery transit: usually fast once dispatched (often next-day / 48h depending on destination and carrier).
- EU → UK / imports: add time for cross-border transit + customs processing (we plan this in upfront lead times).
How we keep it predictable:
We confirm everything before you pay:
- stock check (where applicable),
- branding method and production time,
- the shipping route (UK / EU / import),
- the delivered deadline you need.
10) Rush orders, event deadlines, and “what we need from you”
When you have a fixed event date, speed becomes a checklist. We can move fast — but only when we get the essentials quickly.
To lock a reliable deadline, we need:
- final quantities + delivery postcode(s),
- artwork in vector format (AI/EPS/PDF),
- branding placement confirmed,
- payment approved,
- one point of contact for sign-off.
What we offer for urgent UK deadlines:
- faster branding methods where suitable,
express production where available,- split deliveries (ship what’s ready first),
- clear “drop-dead” approval times so nothing slips.
The honest part:
Custom merchandise is always fastest when approvals are fast. If you want something delivered in under a week, we’ll tell you exactly what is realistic and what is risky — and we’ll give you the cleanest plan to hit the date.

The UK Buyer’s FAQ for Promotional Products & Branded Merchandise
1. Are you officially UK-registered, and can we pay in GBP?
Yes. We operate as a UK-registered company: Swish & Click Ltd, registered in Belfast, Northern Ireland, with company number NI737465. For UK buyers, that matters — it means you’re dealing with a supplier structured for the UK market, with UK-facing accountability and proper company registration.
We also accept GBP (£) for UK orders. That means your team can budget and approve orders without FX guesswork, and your purchase process stays simple for UK procurement and finance teams. Where needed, we can support standard B2B purchasing workflows (quotes formatted for internal approval, clear PO references, and consistent reorder specs).
This is especially useful for:
- UK companies that want a UK contracting entity (not “overseas-only” paperwork)
- Teams ordering across the UK including Northern Ireland
- International organisations who want UK delivery but prefer dealing with a UK-registered supplier and paying in GBP
If you tell us how your procurement team prefers to operate (PO-first, quote-first, monthly ordering, campaign bursts), we’ll align the quoting and ordering process so it feels like a proper UK B2B supplier relationship — structured, consistent, and easy to run.
2. Why do Swish & Click seriously stand out from other UK promotional product distributors?
Most UK distributors can send a catalogue and a quick quote — but that’s not what serious B2B buyers actually need. What UK procurement and marketing teams really need is a predictable outcome: consistent quality, clean branding, dependable lead times, and a supplier that doesn’t quietly downgrade products to hit a headline price.
We distinguish ourselves by running merch like a managed B2B supply process, not a transactional “quote machine”. That means we proactively guide product selection, lock specification, control decoration quality, and keep everything stable so your second and third order looks the same as your first — even when you’re ordering different product categories (apparel, drinkware, bags, tech, gifting).
What you get with Swish & Click (and what many UK distributors don’t actually deliver consistently):
- Specification discipline: we quote against a clear product spec (model, material, finish) and don’t treat “similar to” as acceptable without approval
- Branding quality control: we recommend the right decoration method for the product and your logo (so it looks corporate, not promotional)
- Supplier depth: access to specialist partners (events, conferences, premium gifting, sustainable ranges) alongside broad generalist supply
- Commercial clarity: clear documentation and a structure designed for procurement sign-off (not vague line items)
- Fair pricing for strong quality: we’re not “premium at any price” — we’re value-led, with honest guidance on where saving money is smart vs where it ruins the outcome
In short: we’re built for businesses that care about brand perception and want merchandise that performs in the real world — not just a cheap unit cost on a spreadsheet.
3. How do we make sure our merchandise looks premium in real life (and not like “cheap promotional freebies”)?
In the UK, the difference between “premium corporate merchandise” and “cheap freebies” is usually not the product category — it’s the specification and branding finish. Two bottles can look identical online and arrive worlds apart in coating quality, lid fit, weight, and how the logo sits. The same goes for apparel, bags, and conference staples.
Cheap-looking merch typically happens for three reasons: the base product is too low-grade, the branding method is wrong for the material, or the spec changes without anyone noticing. This is why we focus on controlling outcomes rather than just offering endless options. You should be able to explain to your team exactly what you’re buying and why it will look good when it arrives.
The quality signals we check and confirm clearly before you commit:
- Textiles: GSM weight, composition, stitching, fit/shrink behaviour, colour stability
- Bags: zip quality, seam reinforcement, strap strength, base structure and lining
- Drinkware: coating durability, lid quality, leak resistance, insulation performance
Branding finish: wash resistance, scratch resistance, adhesion/finish expectations- Consistency risk: stable stock vs frequently substituted lines (and what happens if stock changes)
We’re not “premium at any cost”. We’re fair-price for high confidence. We’ll recommend where to spend (because it visibly improves perception) and where to save (because it doesn’t change the outcome) — so you get merchandise that looks credible, lasts, and represents your brand properly.
4. Can we see a sample (or a pre-production proof) before committing — and what’s the safest way to approve quality?
Yes — and in the UK market, this is one of the smartest ways to avoid disappointment. The safest buying process isn’t “pick a product and hope”; it’s approve the right level of proof based on risk. A pen for a local meetup doesn’t need the same approval path as 500 premium bottles for a client event or a C-suite gifting run.
We typically offer three levels of assurance, depending on budget, timeline, and how critical the outcome is. A supplier who refuses to discuss these options is usually signalling that they can’t control the final result as tightly as they claim.
Here’s the clean approval hierarchy we recommend:
- Digital artwork proof (always): placement, size, orientation, and branding method confirmed before production starts
- Blank sample (fast, low friction): check the base product quality (material, weight, finish, colour) before branding
- Pre-production / branded sample (highest confidence): confirms the exact product + exact branding finish you’ll receive (recommended for premium gifting, apparel, and “high-visibility” orders)
We’ll advise you on the right level, based on what’s at stake. If speed matters, we’ll tell you what can be approved digitally without risk — and where a physical sample is the only sensible choice.
5. We have a fixed deadline (event / campaign / onboarding). How do you make sure it lands on time?
UK buyers don’t want “estimated lead times” — they want a plan that respects the reality of business deadlines. The difference between a supplier who delivers and one who disappoints is rarely effort; it’s whether they manage the timeline like a project: stock, branding method, proof approval, production slot, dispatch plan, and contingency.
We handle deadline orders by working backwards from your required delivery date and locking “non-negotiables” early. Most failures happen when a supplier allows ambiguity: unclear artwork readiness, flexible approvals, vague production capacity, or last-minute product swaps.
To protect your deadline, we’ll confirm these points up front (in writing on the quote if needed):
- the exact product specification (so nothing gets silently substituted)
- the branding method and realistic production window
- the proof approval deadline (the moment your timeline truly starts)
- delivery structure for single-site vs multi-site UK rollouts
- what we do if there’s risk (e.g., faster decoration method, alternative equivalent, split shipment plan)
If your deadline is tight, we won’t overpromise. We’ll give you the safest route to “on time” — even if that means recommending a slightly different product that can be produced reliably at speed without sacrificing the look and feel.
6. How do we choose sustainable promotional products in the UK without paying for vague “eco” claims?
In the UK, sustainability is now a procurement topic, not a marketing buzzword — and “eco” language without evidence is a red flag. The easiest way to avoid greenwashing is to stop asking “is it sustainable?” and start asking: what exactly makes it better, how is it proven, and what trade-offs exist?
We approach sustainable merchandise like a measurable decision: materials, certifications, durability, and end-of-life. In many cases, the most sustainable choice isn’t the most “eco-branded” product — it’s the item people will actually keep for years (high retention beats low-cost throwaways every time).
What we verify and explain clearly before you commit:
- Material proof: recycled content, organic fibres, responsibly sourced paper/wood where applicable
- Recognised certifications (when relevant): FSC (paper/wood), GOTS (organic textiles), OEKO-TEX (textile safety), and other category-specific standards
- Durability & retention: will it last, get used, and represent your brand well over time?
- Packaging choices: minimal, recyclable, or gift-ready — depending on your use case
- Honest trade-offs: what’s truly better vs what is just “eco language”
If your team has ESG requirements, we’ll help you build a sustainable range that stands up to internal scrutiny — not just a product list that looks good on a slide.
7. Can you support proper UK procurement workflows (POs, supplier onboarding, and approval-ready quoting)?
Yes — and this is one of the biggest differences between a “promo reseller” and a supplier that serious UK businesses keep long-term. UK teams don’t just want a price; they need a quote that survives internal scrutiny: finance checks, brand checks, and procurement sign-off without endless back-and-forth.
We structure quoting in a way that makes it easy for procurement to approve quickly and safely. That means your team can see exactly what they’re buying, what is included, and what is locked — so there are no surprises later and no awkward conversations when the order arrives looking different from what was expected.
What we can support as standard:
- PO referencing and clean paperwork for invoice matching
- Quote formats built for approvals (clear spec, decoration method, lead-time plan, delivery split if needed)
- Supplier onboarding info (company details, UK entity details, contacts, documentation)
- Repeat ordering with consistent specs (so you’re not re-explaining requirements every time)
If your procurement team has a strict process, tell us once. We’ll align to it — and we’ll keep it consistent for every reorder.
8. We have multiple UK sites or teams — can you manage multi-location rollouts without errors?
Yes — and this is exactly where many suppliers fall apart. Multi-site rollouts fail when addresses are messy, timelines differ by location, and someone tries to manage it all in email threads. The result is missed deliveries, split cartons going to the wrong place, or the “important” site getting the last stock.
We run multi-location UK rollouts like a controlled deployment: we lock the spec, lock the quantities per site, confirm packaging logic, and plan dispatch so every location receives the right items on the right schedule. You get one coordinated process — not ten separate mini-orders.
A good multi-location rollout typically includes:
- a site list (addresses + delivery contacts + delivery notes)
- quantities allocated per site (not “we’ll split later”)
- a dispatch plan (single dispatch vs phased dispatch, tracking logic)
- optional packaging rules (e.g. “50 units per box”, “site-labelled cartons”, “kits per employee”)
If you’re rolling out onboarding packs, conference materials, or internal campaigns across the UK, we’ll keep it structured — so it lands cleanly and your internal team doesn’t spend days chasing boxes.
9. How do you handle brand control properly (so different teams don’t order random merch that dilutes the brand)?
This is a huge pain point in the UK: marketing teams want brand consistency, but multiple departments order merchandise independently — and suddenly the logo changes size, colours drift, and half the items look like they came from different companies. That’s not a “design problem”; it’s a supplier control problem.
We keep brand control by treating your branding as a system: approved decoration methods per category, consistent placement rules, and repeatable specs. The goal is simple — your brand looks the same whether you’re ordering 50 premium gifts or 5,000 conference giveaways.
What strong brand control looks like in practice:
- category rules (e.g. embroidery for caps, engraving for metal, specific print method for textiles)
- standard placements (left chest, centred front, wrap print, etc.) with agreed sizes
- a core range that teams can reorder without reinventing the wheel
- controlled substitutions (no changes without approval)
If you want, we can help you build a “UK core range” that your teams stick to — so every campaign looks intentional and your brand stays consistent year-round.
10. How should we compare UK promotional product suppliers properly (without being misled by headline price)?
In the UK, the fastest way to waste budget is to compare suppliers by the top-line unit cost alone. Two quotes can look like they’re for the “same item” while quietly using different product grades, different branding methods, different print sizes, or different rules on substitutions. The result is predictable: the cheaper quote often delivers a cheaper outcome.
The correct comparison is specification-based. You want to know whether you’re buying the same product, with the same decoration, at the same quality level, with the same assumptions about production and control. If your supplier can’t confirm those details clearly, you’re not comparing like-for-like — you’re comparing marketing.
Use this UK procurement comparison checklist (copy/paste into any supplier conversation):
- Exact product model/grade (not “similar to” or “equivalent”) and whether substitutions are allowed
- Decoration method + print size + number of positions (front only vs front/back, etc.)
- Artwork setup costs (included vs added later) and what’s required for approval
- Packaging assumptions (bulk vs individually packed) and any kit/assembly requirements
Quality control expectations (what gets checked, and what happens if something is off)- Reorder stability (can you reorder the same spec in 3 months without changes?)
We price fairly — but we also protect outcome. If you want a lower-cost option, we’ll tell you exactly what changes (and what it means visually) so you can choose value without accidentally buying something that looks budget when it arrives.
11. What are the best UK conference giveaway bundles by budget (so people actually keep them)?
Most conference giveaways fail because they’re built around what’s cheap, not what’s useful. UK attendees keep items that solve a real “in the moment” need: hydration, carrying, charging, note-taking, or a small premium object that feels worth keeping. The smartest approach is to bundle 2–4 items that work together rather than blowing the budget on one forgettable object.
We build UK event bundles around visibility + retention: the items should be easy to distribute, used immediately, and still useful after the event ends. That’s what makes your brand show up on desks, in commutes, and in meetings — not just in a conference bin.
Examples of high-performing bundles (we tailor these to your sector and audience):
- Value bundle (high volume): tote bag + pen + notebook (high pickup, high use, low friction)
- Practical tech bundle: tote or lanyard + power bank or charging cable + bottle (strong retention)
- Premium bundle (client-facing): quality drinkware + desk item + minimal packaging (feels corporate, not promotional)
- Sustainable bundle: reusable bottle/cup + recycled notebook + responsibly sourced bag (ESG-friendly without being gimmicky)
Tell us your event type, attendee profile, and budget band, and we’ll propose bundles that are UK-appropriate, brand-consistent, and designed to be kept — not binned.
12. What’s the fastest way to get the right product choice (without wasting days browsing catalogues)?
Catalogues are overwhelming because they’re built for “infinite options”, not decision-making. UK teams usually don’t need 4,000 choices — they need the best 6 that match budget, deadline, branding style, and the audience. The fastest route is a controlled shortlist with clear trade-offs.
We run product selection like a procurement decision: you give us your use-case and constraints, and we return a tight set of options with a recommendation. That means you avoid the endless “maybe this, maybe that” loop — and you avoid picking something that looks good online but performs badly in real life.
To build a shortlist quickly, we only need:
- use-case (conference, onboarding, gifting, internal campaign)
- budget range (per unit or total)
- quantity and desired delivery date
- branding style (subtle/premium vs bold/high-visibility)
- any must-haves (sustainable materials, UK-made, specific colour, etc.)
Then we deliver a curated shortlist with:
- a “best overall” pick
- a “best value” pick
- a “premium impact” pick
…and we explain in plain English why each one works. That’s how UK teams move fast and still get an outcome they’re proud to put their name on.
