Example scenario · Zurich → Barcelona

1,020 km by truck.
Or one file.

Engineering in Zurich, assembly in Barcelona. Instead of trucking the part through three countries, a partner manufactures it locally.

The geometry stays a STEP file until it reaches the production partner. What crosses the Swiss–EU border is data, not goods, so export declaration, T1 transit and import clearance for the part disappear from the process.

Map of western Europe. The conventional goods route runs about 1,020 kilometres by truck from Zurich through France to Barcelona, crossing the Swiss–EU customs border and an EU internal border. With treede, a STEP file travels directly from Zurich to a manufacturing partner in the Barcelona region, and only the file crosses the border.
