US Imposes Section 301 Tariffs on Multiple Economies Amid Forced Labour Concerns
The US has imposed Section 301 tariffs of 10 to 12.5 percent on imports from 60 economies, including India and Taiwan, targeting goods linked to forced labour concerns. Economists view the 10 percent tariff on Indian goods as having limited immediate impact, emphasizing export diversification for long-term resilience. Taiwan welcomes its relatively lower tariff but remains concerned about a separate US probe into semiconductor overcapacity. Experts note that trading partners may seek to reduce dependence on the US market through alternative trade agreements.
