Section 301 forced-labor tariffs on 60 economies (10% / 12.5%)
On July 24, 2026 — the day the Section 122 surcharge lapsed — USTR imposed additional duties of 10% or 12.5% ad valorem on products of 60 economies under Section 301, concluding investigations into each economy's failure to impose or enforce a ban on imports made with forced labor. The rate is set per economy: for example Canada, Mexico, India, the United Kingdom, Malaysia and Indonesia pay 10%; China, Vietnam, Brazil and Thailand pay 12.5%; the EU and Taiwan pay 10% and Japan, Korea and Switzerland 12.5%, each assessed net of the MFN rate. Articles subject to Section 232 duties are exempt, as are annex-listed products for several economies, and goods loaded before July 24 that entered before July 28, 2026.

Tariffs on Chinese goods imposed in February 2025 over fentanyl trafficking: 10% at first, raised to 20% in March 2025, then cut back to 10% in November 2025 under the U.S.–China trade truce. The Supreme Court's February 2026 IEEPA ruling voided them entirely.
