US Section 301 forced-labor tariffs replace the 10% global surcharge on 24 July 2026

A Dorsey client alert of 24 July 2026 reports that the Trump administration implemented Section 301 tariffs, effective the same day, after an investigation into global enforcement of forced-labor prohibitions. They replace the expired 10% global import surcharge.

10%: Canada, Mexico, the UK, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and others.
10% net of the MFN rate: European Union and Taiwan.
12.5% net of the MFN rate: Japan, South Korea and Switzerland.
12.5% in addition to the MFN rate: China, Australia, Brazil, Vietnam and 30+ other countries.

Extensive exemptions apply to certain pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agricultural commodities, seafood and forest products. Small businesses and states have challenged the tariffs in the US Court of International Trade.
