US Hits 60 Economies With New Duties Over Forced Labor
3 Jun
Summary
- The U.S. Trade Representative's office announced new duties on imports.
- Sixty economies are affected by these proposed additional duties.
- Duties target nations failing to curb goods made with forced labor.
On Tuesday, June 2, 2026, the U.S. Trade Representative's office unveiled proposed additional duties targeting imports from sixty economies. This measure stems from a determination that these countries have unreasonably failed to curtail trade in goods produced using forced labor.
The office asserts that these failures to address forced labor practices are not only unreasonable but also serve to restrict U.S. commerce. Consequently, additional duties are being proposed to address this trade imbalance and human rights concern.
