Trade overview

Switzerland is a major global trading nation known for its exports of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, precision instruments, watches, and machinery. It is not an EU member but maintains extensive bilateral trade agreements with the EU and applies its own customs tariff schedule. Switzerland is a significant destination and transit point for high-value US exports, particularly in life sciences and financial goods.
