Trump administration imposes forced‑labor tariffs on 60 trading partners

The United States announced new import duties of 10 % to 12.5 % on goods from 60 economies, covering roughly 99 % of U.S. imports. The tariffs took effect at 00:01 ET on 24 July 2026, after a temporary 10 % worldwide levy expired. They are imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and are justified by the U.S. Trade Representative as a response to countries that have not effectively prohibited imports made with forced labour.

Rates are tiered: most targeted nations face a 12.5 % surcharge, while those deemed to have taken steps toward banning forced‑labour imports receive a 10 % rate. Chile is among the countries hit with the higher 12.5 % duty, and Peru’s avocado exports remain tariff‑free while other Peruvian goods face the 12.5 % levy. Small U.S. businesses have filed lawsuits challenging the measures within a day of their implementation. The tariffs were announced by U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and have prompted protests from the affected countries.
