On July 23, 2026, Ambassador Jamieson Greer took final action, at President Trump’s direction, under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 by imposing tariffs on 60 economies for their failure to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor. This action comes after the Office of the United States Trade Representative’s (USTR) investigations, which included two rounds of public hearings, more than 2,100 public comments, and engagement with our trading partners to remedy these longstanding concerns.
10 percent rate of Section 301 duties will be imposed for investigated economies that (i) impose a forced labor import prohibition; (ii) have committed to impose and enforce such a prohibition through an Agreement on Reciprocal Trade; or (iii) have imposed a partial regime with the effect of preventing the importation of certain forced labor goods. These economies are:
- Argentina,
- Bangladesh,
- Cambodia,
- Canada,
- Ecuador,
- El Salvador,
- Guatemala,
- Honduras,
- India,
- Indonesia,
- Jordan,
- Malaysia,
- Mexico,
- Pakistan,
- Sri Lanka,
- Trinidad and Tobago, and
- United Kingdom.
10 percent or 12.5 percent, net of Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) rate will be imposed for certain products of the European Union, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and Switzerland.
12.5 percent will be imposed for all other investigated economies.
