Switzerland and the United States are close to announcing a significant trade agreement that could reshape supply chains and investment flows between the two countries. The deal aims to reduce U.S. tariffs on Swiss imports from around 39% to 15%, affecting industries such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, aerospace, and gold.

Swiss companies have committed to investing up to $200 billion in the U.S. by 2028, reinforcing long-term economic ties. The agreement is expected to be finalized by early 2026, providing Swiss exporters with more competitive access to the American market, similar to conditions enjoyed by European Union countries.

For freight and logistics operators, the reduction in tariffs could lower shipping costs and simplify cross-border trade, while boosting demand for U.S. logistics services handling Swiss imports.
