US Replaces Expiring 10% Global Tariff With Forced-Labor Duties on 60 Countries Covering 99% of Imports

On July 24, 2026, USTR Jamieson Greer announced tariffs of 10%–12.5% on roughly 60 trading partners — accounting for 99% of US imports — citing their "failure to impose and effectively enforce a prohibition on the importation of goods produced with forced labor." The duties replace a 10% global surcharge imposed in February for 150 days. Brazil called its 12.5% rate "completely arbitrary and unjustified."
