These tariffs, which will apply to 99 percent of U.S. imports, are being imposed due to allegations of inadequate enforcement of bans on goods produced by forced labor. The new levies replace temporary worldwide tariffs that expire Friday and are enacted under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. Certain products, including oil, gas, fertilizer and those covered by the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, are exempt from these new import taxes. While these tariffs may lead to higher consumer prices, human rights organizations suggest they could serve as an effective tool in combating forced labor globally.
