Switzerland and China Update Free Trade Deal
Switzerland and China have successfully concluded negotiations on an updated free trade agreement. Under the new deal nearly all Swiss exports will enter China duty free.
Switzerland and China finalized an updated free trade agreement on Thursday afternoon, boosting duty-free access for 99.8% of Swiss exports. The accord expands on a 2014 pact that covered roughly half of Swiss shipments to the Asian market. Bilateral trade reached 46 billion Swiss francs ($57.6 billion) so far in 2026, positioning China as the Alpine nation's third-largest trading partner.
