The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) has proposed new import tariffs on goods from 60 economies after concluding they failed to adequately curb trade in products made with forced labor. Announced on June 3, the plan seeks to reestablish tariff measures that were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court earlier this year. The proposal would generally apply a 10% additional duty to economies that already have, or are moving toward, forced-labor import bans, and 12.5% to others. Major partners including Canada, Mexico, the European Union, Britain, Japan, and China are covered. The measures would follow a public comment period and hearings in early July.
