 > **Official rate, not mid-market:** every value here is a number Swiss Federal Office for Customs and Border Security itself published, fixed once printed and carrying the tax authority's own `rate_date` — what filings and audits require. Need the live interbank midpoint for pricing or display instead? Use the [mid-market API](https://allratestoday.com/docs/) or [`@allratestoday/sdk`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@allratestoday/sdk). The two can diverge by several percent.

+The latest Swiss Federal Office for Customs and Border Security table is also served keyless, CORS-open and edge-cached, for evaluation, embeds and AI agents:
+
+```bash
+curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/bazg?source=EUR&target=CHF"
+```
+
+```js
+const r = await fetch('https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/bazg').then((x) => x.json());
+console.log(r.rate_date, r.rates.length); // the tax authority's latest published table, no key
+```
+
+The open endpoint serves the *latest* table only and asks for a visible attribution link. The client below uses the keyed API, which adds point-in-time tables, history, and CSV/XML/Excel output.

+The Federal Office for Customs and Border Security (BAZG) sets the exchange rates that apply to Swiss customs declarations and import VAT. It publishes a rate each working morning that is legally valid for the following day — a Friday publication covers the weekend and Monday — which makes it the only daily official Swiss rate: the Swiss National Bank publishes monthly averages rather than a daily fixing.

+- Publication: every business day; the exact schedule, freshness status and any current delay are on the [Swiss Federal Office for Customs and Border Security rates page](https://allratestoday.com/tax-authority-rates-api/bazg/)
+- Values are stored unmodified, with the publisher's own `rate_date` on every row — see the [methodology](https://allratestoday.com/official-rates-methodology/)
+
+## 🧭 Reading the numbers
+
+- `value` is always **quote currency per 1 unit of base currency** (`base: "EUR", quote: "USD", value: 1.15` means 1 EUR = 1.15 USD).
+- Swiss Federal Office for Customs and Border Security quotes **CHF per 1 unit of foreign currency** (e.g. `base: "USD", quote: "CHF"` means CHF per one US dollar).
+- Need the other way round? Ask `getRate(target, source)` and the API inverts or crosses for you, flagged `derived: true` — never divide a published rate yourself in a compliance workflow.
+- `rate_type` tells you which of the tax authority's series a row belongs to (`reference` here); some publishers print buy/sell or several fixings for the same pair.
