U.S. Services Exports to Switzerland: Estimated at $55.6 billion
U.S. Services Imports from Switzerland: Approximately $32.3 billion
Trade Balance: The U.S. had a services trade surplus of roughly $23.3 billion with Switzerland in 2023.

Overall Trade Balance

Total Goods & Services Trade: Combining both goods and services, the U.S. maintained a trade surplus of approximately $10.8 billion with Switzerland in 2023.
