Pilatus Aircraft is temporarily pausing deliveries of PC-12 turboprop singles and PC-24 twinjets to the U.S., due to high tariffs—39%—recently imposed on Swiss imports to the U.S. According to Pilatus, “The new trade tariff imposed by the U.S. authorities puts Pilatus at a significant competitive disadvantage. In the short term, the tariff will lead to a temporary halt in PC-12 and PC-24 deliveries to the U.S. Existing relationships with our U.S. customers and provision of services will continue seamlessly and in full.”
According to Switzerland Global Enterprise, “With the amendment of the Executive Order on Reciprocal Customs Duties of July 31, 2025, the reciprocal customs duty for Swiss-origin goods for imports from Aug. 7, 2025, was increased to 39% (previously 31%). This duty is applied on top of the current Most Favoured Nation. In each case, the country of origin of the goods and not the country of departure is decisive.
