US Imposes 10% Tariff on Indian Goods Over Forced Labor Concerns

The United States has announced a 10 percent tariff on goods imported from India, citing concerns over forced labour. The move is part of a broader action under Section 301 of the Trade Act, affecting 17 countries in total. India is among the nations targeted for the surcharge. The new duty will apply to a wide range of products, potentially increasing import costs for Indian exporters. The U.S. government says the measure aims to protect workers and uphold trade standards.
