The USTR has issued its determination in the Section 301 investigations concerning forced labour imports, finding that the failure of 60 economies, including India, to impose and effectively enforce forced labour import prohibitions is “unreasonable” and actionable under U.S. trade law.
Alongside the determination, USTR has proposed additional tariffs of up to 12.5%, subject to various exemptions and a potential special textile mechanism, and invited stakeholder comments before a final decision.
This is a significant development for businesses with exposure to U.S. trade and global supply chains.
