US to Announce Final Action on Section 301 Forced Labour Investigations Thursday
The US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer announced that the final action on Section 301 investigations into 60 trading partners, including India, regarding forced labour imports will be released imminently, before the expiration of 10% additional tariffs. The investigations assess partners' enforcement of import bans on goods produced with forced labour. The USTR received over 1,600 comments and held public hearings with 107 witnesses. India has contested the probes, preferring bilateral trade discussions. The tariffs, imposed after the Supreme Court invalidated prior reciprocal tariffs, expire this Friday.
