Trump slaps 10% tariff on India, no major impact seen
The US Trade Representative imposed 10% additional tariffs on India and other countries under Section 301 for allowing imports using forced labour.
The permanent tariff replaces a temporary 10% import duty and is unlikely to have a major impact on India.
India faces an additional threat from a second US probe into structural overcapacity among over a dozen nations.
India revised its Foreign Trade Policy to adopt the ILO definition and provide for forced labour probes, which the USTR factored into its tariff decision.
