2. Technical specification
2.1 Data submission
Data can be submitted in the following ways:
- As an e-mail attachment
- Via a Swiss Post SFTP account
- Via the Swiss Federal Sedex platform (XML only)
2.1.1 E-mail
To submit data via e-mail, you will need an e-mail account with which you can send e-mails of up to 2 MB. The e-mail attachment must be sent in base64 or uuencoded format.
Procedure for submitting data by e-mail
Prepare the data in XML format and add the file to an e-mail as an attachment. The maximum file size for submitting data via e-mail is 2 MB per submission.
So that the attached files can be uniquely identified when you submit data via e-mail, you must also specify a keyword in the body of the e-mail. If this keyword is incorrect, the e-mail (plus attachment) will be deleted. The keyword to be specified in e-mails is:
- During testing: T-770809dfu01input
- During live operation: 770809dfu01input
Note: The e-mail must only contain the keyword and the file. Any additional wording, such as automatic signatures, is not permitted.
Send the e-mail to paketversand.dfu@postlogistics.ch
2.1.2 SFTP
To submit data via SFTP, you‘ll need a Swiss Post SFTP account. If you don‘t have a Swiss Post SFTP account yet, one will be opened once you have registered.
Instructions on importing data via SFTP can be found at Technical DataTransfer Support or obtained from DataTransfer Support.
2.1.3 sedex
sedex subscribers of the eSchKG domain can exchange consignment data electronically using the Swiss Confederation’s sedex platform. The existing DataTransfer services have been extended via an adapter. Registrations with the Federal Statistical Office are carried out by DataTransfer Support.
Eine Anleitung zur Datenübermittlung über sedex finden Sie unter Technische Unterstützung DataTransfer → Briefe mit Barcode.
You can find instructions on how to transmit data via Sedex at Technical DataTransfer Support→ Letters with barcode.
2.2 File formats
Files are accepted in XML (UTF-8) and ZIP (PKZIP 2.0) format.
2.2.1 Special characters in XML format
XML files must conform to XML standards in order for DataTransfer to process them. When submitting files, this means that the attribute values in XML files must not contain any unencoded special characters, such as pointed brackets (<>) or speech marks (“).
In order to send these special characters, you need to encode them using special characters that HTML will recognize.
These take the following format: &[Name];
The example shows how to encode the commercial “and” sign (“&”): Name1=»Moser & Cie.=»(Moser & Cie.)
Here is a list of special characters and the corresponding format in which they must be submitted:
| Special character | Coding |
|---|---|
| & | & |
| < | < |
| > | > |
| “ | " |
| ’ | ' |
Normal umlauts may not be encoded as HTML.
There‘s an easy way to check whether your XML conforms to standards and can be processed by DataTransfer – open the file in a browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. If the file does not conform to standards, an appropriate error message will be displayed.
3. Service description
3.1 “Create a Dispatch List” (delivery note) via DataTransfer
Swiss Post offers a solution for creating dispatch lists for both domestic and international addressed letter mail (postage paid items). You supply the billing data to us via DataTransfer and shortly afterwards, you get back the dispatch list in the form of a delivery note for the postal delivery.
3.1.1 Description of service
- You generate the invoicing data using a Swiss Post product list in a third-party system, and create an XML file. You transmit this data to Swiss Post in XML format via DataTransfer.
- Within minutes, you will receive back via DataTransfer the status file, the dispatch list in the form of a delivery note (see sample 5.1.2) and the wheeled container label.
- You hand the hard copy of the delivery note to Swiss Post together with the mailings.
- The delivery notes generated via DataTransfer will be saved in the “Letters dispatch list” online service. There, until the posting has taken place, it is possible to change or cancel the order. In addition, the customer-specific product list is available there for download (see Section 4.1).
3.1.2 Data transmission
Data can be transmitted in the following ways:
- As an e-mail attachment
- Via a Swiss Post SFTP account
- Via the Swiss Federal Sedex platform
Technical details are described in Section 4.1.
3.1.2.1 Throughput times
Depending on the channel used for delivering the data, the throughput time for creating the delivery note (dispatch list) may be longer or shorter. For system-related reasons data transmisson always takes a few minutes. E-mail throughput times are dependent on the SMTP gateway provider, and SFTP throughput times depend on the gateway provider‘s collection frequency.

Detailed information about error messages can be found at Technical DataTransfer support under “Create Dispatch List“ (master data).
4. Delivering Data
4.1 Product list as the basis for transmission of the declaration data via DataTransfer
The standard product list is available under the following link Technical DataTransfer Support under “Create dispatch list” (master data).
It is also possible to declare contract products via DataTransfer. These contract products are not shown in the standard product list but rather in the “customer-specific product list” according to the franking licence. You can download this customer-specific product list in the “Letters dispatch list” online service, under “Settings” (Exports tab). You can obtain the corresponding login by registering successfully at www.swisspost.ch.
- The product list (VGKTapis) shows all the current products, concessions and additional services offered by Swiss Post that can be listed in an electronic dispatch list.
- Most of the products (<TapisProd>) are determined uniquely by means of the “Gattung”, “Taxgruppe” and “SendGewicht” logical keys.
- The upstream and additional products (<TapisZL>) are uniquely identified through the logical key of “category”, “fee group” and “tariff band”. All valid upstream and additional services are listed for each product (<TapisProd>).
- The product list is used in the following manner:
- First of all as a database in your print optimization system, so that XML files can be generated for “Create a Dispatch List” DataTransfer.
- For each product or price modification (Swiss Post makes changes to its list products no more than once or twice a year).

4.3 Description of tag logic
4.3.1 Info Source
<Aufgabedatum/> (Date of dispatch)
The date of dispatch is the date of posting. If this is not known, the transmission date of the XML file can also be stated.
<Zustelldatum/>
The delivery date is a mandatory field if the products OnTime Mail and Expert Mail are declared in the dispatch list. The requested delivery date is expected in the format yyyy-mm-dd.

<KundenbelegFile/>
After posting, the customer receipt (confirmation of posting,
customer receipt, customer duplicate) is generated and sent to the inbox of the sender ID. The <Werte> attribute can be used to select the file format (pdf and/or xml).
<Kundenref/>
This text is shown on the delivery note (dispatch list) and on the monthly invoice.
<BestellnummerRechnung/>

4.3.5 TapisProd
<SendGewicht/>
In the <SendGewicht/> (consignment weight) element the individual weight of a consignment in kilograms is entered. This weight determines the tariff band within the Gattung/Taxgruppe (Category/Tax Group) and so the tariff too. The system calculates the total weight using the formula SendGewicht x SendAnzahl.
<TapisProd>
<SendAnzahl>10000</SendAnzahl>
<SendGewicht>0.010</SendGewicht>
<Gattung>41</Gattung>
<Taxgruppe>1</Taxgruppe>

The <Kostenstelle/> element is of no significance for Swiss Post. The cost centre can be used on a customer-specific basis.
Country, sorting, format
If a product with an “Individual Small Goods Letter” contract is declared, these three elements are used:
<Land/>
This attribute is only required for “Individual Small Goods Letter” contract products. For these products, the tariff is calculated based on an individual price and on a price per kilo. Therefore the <Land> attribute must always be stated. The contents of the <Land> attribute are the two-letter ISO country code.
You can find the ISO country code list by following this link.
<Sortierung/>
The text sorting must be declared.
<Format/>
The “Format” value must be entered as per the value specified in the contractual agreement.
