Section 301 Is Becoming the Post-IEEPA Tariff Architecture: USTR's 60-Economy Forced-Labor Action
On June 2, 2026, USTR found 60 economies' forced-labor enforcement gaps actionable under Section 301 and proposed 10% / 12.5% duties now open for comment. The systemic read: after the Supreme Court struck down IEEPA tariffs, Section 301 is emerging as the administration's broadest, more durable substitute vehicle, running against a Section 122 surcharge that expires around July 24, 2026.
