A U.S. policy measure aimed at blocking imports tied to forced labor in Xinjiang
The United States has imposed 10% to 12.5% tariffs on imports from 60 countries, citing weak enforcement of forced-labor bans. The tariffs take effect as earlier 10% worldwide duties expire, with exceptions for some goods and duty-free items under USMCA. The move follows a broader Section 301 probe and signals ongoing shifts in American trade policy ahead of upcoming elections.
