In a press release on July 23, 2026, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) announced the imposition of tariffs on 60 economies “for their failure to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor.”

The following Section 301 duty rates will apply:

• A 10% Section 301 duty will be applied to goods from Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United Kingdom.
• A 10% or 12.5% duty, net of the Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) rate, will be applied to goods from the European Union, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, and Switzerland that are not otherwise exempt.
• A 12.5% Section 301 duty rate will be applied to goods from all other investigated economies.

These duties will apply to covered goods that are entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on July 24, 2026.

Goods that were loaded onto a vessel at the port of loading and were in transit on their final mode of transportation before the effective date will be exempt from these duties, provided they are entered for consumption or withdrawn from a warehouse for consumption, before 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on July 28, 2026.
