Dear Alexey,
first of all, Swiss is an adjective, the country is called Switzerland in English. Secondly, the website for calculating customs charges in Switzerland is www.tares.ch
Unfortunately the site is overly complicated and may be not of a great help.
From own experience, you may get taxed from amounts as low as CHF 50, and the tax will consist of 7.6% VAT plus if you are unlucky (you are usually unlucky) you will have to pay the paperwork in amounts between 10 and 80 CHF. DHL / UPS is usually more expensive for some reason.
So, the bottom line is that it is expensive.
