USTR Imposes Tariffs on 60 Trading Partners for Failure to Ban Imports Produced with Forced Labor

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), at the direction of President Trump, has taken final action in its Section 301 Investigations by imposing a 10% or 12.5% tariff on 60 trading partners. This measure targets economies that have failed to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor, covering 99.4% of U.S. imports from these partners, and aims to eliminate forced labor from global supply chains.
