The United States has imposed a 10% tariff on imports from India as part of a wider trade action targeting 60 economies over concerns about forced labour in global supply chains. India secured the lower tariff rate after amending its foreign trade policy to prohibit imports made with forced labour, avoiding the higher 12.5% duty applied to some countries. The tariffs, introduced under Section 301 of the US Trade Act, aim to strengthen labour standards while affecting over 99% of US imports. The move could influence India-US trade ties and global supply chains. (PC: X)
