Switzerland has a lower VAT than the Netherlands, but the tax calculation on import/export for non-necessities is generally the same. Tariffs are the same for most European countries, EU or not, currently 10% on passenger vehicles.

CIF (which is the cost/invoice value, insurance and freight)
Duty (10% of CIF)
VAT (7.6% Swiss, 19% NL - usually calculated on CIF + Duty)

So assuming (using round numbers for ease):
57K invoice on the Boxster S
3k insurance + freight

CIF = $60,000
Duty = $6,000
VAT = $5,016
Cost to you = $14,016

Assuming a CIF of $35K, Kiwi's cost would be @ $10,815.

Plus, the cost of bringing your vehicle in-line with the code, as previously noted.
