US Tariffs on Swiss Products Drop to 15 Percent - US slashes Swiss import tariffs from 39% to 15% after landmark talks

US tariffs on Swiss goods have been significantly reduced from 39% to 15%, matching the rate applied to EU products. This move follows negotiations led by the Swiss Federal Council, including Federal President Karin Keller-Sutter and Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin. The new tariff rate, now at 15%, brings Swiss products in line with those from the European Union. This reduction is a result of negotiations between Swiss and USCIS officials. The Swiss delegation, headed by Federal President Karin Keller-Sutter and Federal Councillor Guy Parmelin, played a crucial role in achieving this agreement. The previous tariff of 39% has been lifted, opening up new opportunities for Swiss exports to the US market. The reduction of US tariffs on Swiss goods to 15% is expected to boost Swiss exports to the US. This move aligns Swiss products with those from the EU, potentially increasing competitiveness and trade between the two nations.
