The measures, announced under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, affect 99.4% of US imports from the targeted economies, making them among the broadest trade actions of Trump's second term.10% for 17 trading partnersUnder the new framework, 17 trading partners will face a 10% tariff after adopting, or committing to adopt, stronger measures prohibiting imports linked to forced labour.12.5% for othersMost of the remaining economies — including the Philippines, China, Australia, Brazil, Thailand and Vietnam — will be subject to a 12.5% tariff on covered imports.The administration said the tariffs reflect each country's efforts to prevent goods produced with forced labour from entering global supply chains.Several major US allies received different treatment. The European Union, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and Taiwan negotiated special arrangements that cap their overall US tariff burden at 10% or 12.5%, depending on the product's existing Most Favoured Nation (MFN) tariff rate.What's exemptedDespite the sweeping scope of the action, several categories of imports remain exempt, including oil, natural gas, fertilisers, selected agricultural products, informational materials, and goods already covered under separate US trade programmes.Why new tariffs were imposedThe White House said the action is intended to encourage trading partners to strengthen enforcement against forced labour, rather than serve as a blanket protectionist measure. Countries that improve compliance could eventually qualify for lower tariff rates or other trade adjustments.The latest tariffs mark another significant expansion of Trump's trade agenda, which has increasingly linked market access to labour standards, supply-chain security and broader geopolitical objectives. The move is expected to affect hundreds of billions of dollars in global trade and could prompt renewed negotiations between Washington and several affected economies.Based on the latest White House list, the US trading partners subject to these new tariffs are:1.
