Public Hearings Regarding Section 301 Investigations Relating to Failures to Take Action on Forced Labor

USTR has proposed additional Section 301 tariffs of 10% or 12.5% on all products from up to 60 economies found to lack adequate forced-labor import prohibitions, meaning importers sourcing from any of those economies face potential across-the-board duty increases. The April 24, 2026 public hearing is a formal procedural step in the rulemaking process before any tariffs are finalized.

The proposed tariffs would apply to all products from 60 economies. Economies with partial enforcement regimes or reciprocal trade agreement-based regimes face a proposed 10% rate; all other covered economies face a proposed 12.5% rate. Specific economy names are not listed in the linked signals.
