What's the storyThe United States has imposed a 10% tariff on imports from India and over a dozen other countries. The move comes after a months-long investigation into forced labor practices.

The new tariff is lower than the proposed 12.5% under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, which allows the US to impose retaliatory trade measures against unfair or discriminatory practices.
