Can I bring soil samples from Cuba / US to Switzerland?

Can I bring soil samples from Cuba / US to Switzerland? - Brown Desert Ground

A friend of mine asked me to collect some soil samples abroad and bring them to Switzerland, she collects them as a hobby. Will I run into problems when bringing these through customs (both out of the country and into Switzerland)?

I am mainly interested in Cuba and the United States, however I am also interested in other countries regulations.

Additional info: I am talking about a handful of soil each for a couple of different locations.
