Customs decision from the US The current customs duties are running out What threatens Switzerland?

The article discusses the ongoing U.S. tariff policies and their potential impact on Switzerland. In February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that tariffs imposed under a state of emergency were unlawful. In response, President Donald Trump introduced new tariffs of up to 10% on most imports, using a temporary legal basis valid until July 24, 2026. After this date, the U.S. government has sought another legal foundation under Section 301 of the 1974 Trade Act, which allows tariffs against countries engaging in unfair trade practices. The U.S. accuses 60 countries, including Switzerland and the EU, of not adequately addressing forced labor in imported goods, potentially leading to tariffs between 10% and 12.5%. Additionally, the U.S. is considering further tariffs targeting countries accused of dumping cheap industrial products into the U.S., including Switzerland and the EU. Meanwhile, Switzerland and the U.S. signed an agreement in November 2025 to cap U.S. tariffs at 15%, aiming to provide stability for Swiss exporters amid potential tariff fluctuations.
