Actions by the United States in the Investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 of the Acts, Policies, and Practices of 60 Economies Related to the Failure of Each Economy to Impose and Effectively Enforce a Prohibition on the Importation of Goods Produced with Forced Labor
This Presidential Memorandum directs the U.S. Trade Representative to impose Section 301 tariffs on imports from 60 economies due to their failure to prohibit or effectively enforce forced labor import bans. Tariffs are set at 10% ad valorem for certain economies with partial enforcement or commitments, and 12.5% for others, with exemptions for raw materials and products causing domestic supply issues, and plans for textile tariff-rate quotas by September 2026. The action aims to eliminate the identified unreasonable trade practices through these tariffs and incentives.
Imposing Additional Duties to Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States with Respect to Motor Vehicles

Imposing Additional Duties to Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States with Respect to Dairy
President Trump, citing Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, imposes a 50% additional ad valorem duty on certain Canadian products (listed in Annex II) effective August 19, 2026, to offset Canada's discriminatory dairy tariff-rate quota allocation that disadvantages U.S. cheese exporters compared to EU exporters under CETA. The action aims to pressure Canada to remove the discrimination and expand opportunities for U.S. dairy producers within the U.S. market.
