Brief takeaway: The notice implements tariff changes for goods from Switzerland and Liechtenstein, generally applying the higher of the U.S. most-favored-nation rate or a 15 percent reciprocal rate, with adjustments for certain product categories.

What changed: According to the notice, it amends the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States to implement elements of a U.S.-Switzerland-Liechtenstein Framework announced November 14, 2025, under Executive Order 14346. The notice states that products of Switzerland or Liechtenstein may be subject to the higher of the MFN rate or a 15 percent rate (MFN plus a reciprocal tariff), while tariffs on certain articles are separately adjusted. The notice adds that if the underlying Agreement is not negotiated by March 31, 2026, the United States will review and reconsider these modifications.

Who's affected: The notice names products of Switzerland (CH) and Liechtenstein. It cites certain agricultural goods, unavailable natural resources, aircraft and aircraft parts, and generic pharmaceuticals along with their ingredients and chemical precursors. Specific HTS codes are not restated here.

What to review:
- Review whether your goods originate in Switzerland or Liechtenstein under applicable origin rules.
- Confirm with your broker which HTS classifications and adjusted rates in the amended schedule may be relevant to your products.
- Check whether the higher-of MFN or 15 percent rate may apply versus the separately adjusted categories.
- Review the effective date and any entry timing considerations with your broker.
