Democratic-led US states filed a lawsuit before the US Court of International Trade on Monday against President Donald Trump's Section 301 tariffs on 60 countries, including India.
The tariffs range from 10% to 12.5%, imposed citing forced labor issues; India faces 10% after amending its foreign trade policy on June 14 to ban imports made with forced labor.
New York Attorney General Letitia James and Governor Kathy Hochul lead the coalition, asking the court to declare the tariffs illegal.
The lawsuit argues the tariffs are arbitrary and a pretext for sweeping tariffs, raising costs for consumers and businesses, and violate Section 301 requirements.

U.S. states sued the Trump administration over new 10%-12.5% tariffs on 59 countries and the EU, calling them an illegal workaround.
The tariffs were imposed under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, citing forced labor concerns, after the Supreme Court struck down prior IEEPA tariffs.
The lawsuit, led by New York Attorney General Letitia James, argues the tariffs illegally raise taxes on families and businesses.
The administration contends Section 301 tariffs are legally durable and aim to address unreasonable trade practices, as stated by White House spokesman Kush Desai.
