The United States implemented new tariffs ranging from 10% to 12.5% on imports from 60 trading partners, effective Friday after announcement on Thursday, targeting countries that have not imposed or enforced bans on goods made with forced labor. Multiple sources confirm the rates apply to economies including Australia, Brazil, China, and others, with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer citing the nation's century-old import prohibition. A claim that the tariffs were imposed under Section 301 remains disputed across reports.
