Degussa terms and conditions

Money Laundering Act (GwG)

Determination of beneficial owner(s) 

Due to the Swiss Money Laundering Act (GwG), for transactions over CHF 15,000.- proof of the beneficial owner(s) is mandatory. For this purpose, you will receive our form A (determination of the beneficial owner(s)) in the attachment to your order confirmation.

Please fill out this form and send it to us signed by post together with a certified copy of your passport (which every post office will authenticate).

If you pick it up from our shop in Zurich (Bleicherweg 41) or Geneva (Quai du Mont-Blanc 5), we only need your passport or ID for identification. A certified copy of your passport is not necessary in this case.

For transactions below CHF 15,000, this proof is not required and these documents do not need to be submitted.

Please note that it is also necessary to identify the beneficial owner(s) as soon as the sum of all subsequent transactions exceeds CHF 15,000.- within a calendar year. If the sum of CHF 15,000.- is exceeded (within one calendar year), please fill out the form and send it to us signed by post together with a certified copy of your passport.
