US imposes 10% ‘forced labour’ tariff on India under Section 301 investigation
In all, Washington imposed tariffs on 60 countries accounting for more than 99% of US imports for failing to prohibit and effectively enforce restrictions on the import of goods made with forced labour. The new tariffs replace the temporary 10% global tariff announced in February, which expired this week.“Today’s action will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and distortive trade practice to improve the welfare of workers everywhere. The provision allows the United States to impose retaliatory trade measures against countries found to be engaging in unfair or discriminatory practices.
