The United States has launched a new digital platform allowing companies to claim refunds for tariffs that courts have ruled were imposed illegally.

The move provides a concrete mechanism for Swiss exporters, who were among the hardest hit by the previous administration's trade measures, to recover funds they paid under protest.

Swiss firms faced effective tariff rates of up to 39% on certain goods during the peak of the trade dispute.

The new portal is designed to streamline the reimbursement process, which had previously been bogged down by bureaucratic delays and legal uncertainty.

While the availability of the platform has been welcomed by Swiss industry groups, many companies remain cautious about the speed and reliability of the disbursement process.

This development follows a broader acceleration in tariff refunds across the US.
