How do you navigate the trade storm? EU and US tariff challenges for Swedish companies

For Swedish companies, the tariff measures present a number of immediate and strategic challenges. Increased costs and changed access to the US market will necessitate an adjustment of both contract terms and delivery conditions. There will be greater demands on documentation and customs clearance, and in many cases supply and distribution chains will have to be rethought. At the same time, the complexity of ongoing trade with US partners increases, which increases the need for legal and commercial risk management.

As an international law firm with a presence in over 40 countries, we have the advantage of being able to mobilise expertise quickly. In these matters, we work with colleagues in the US and several European jurisdictions, many with backgrounds such as the White House or the Office of the US Trade Representative (USTR), giving us deep insight into both the political and legal processes associated with international trade and customs policy.
