US Imposes 10% 'Forced Labour' Tariff on Indian Imports After Section 301 Probe
The United States has announced a 10% additional tariff on imports from India as part of its "Forced Labour" trade action following a Section 301 investigation. Although the final tariff is lower than the initially proposed 12.5%, the move could increase costs for Indian exporters and affect their competitiveness in the US market.
India has rejected the allegations, stating that its labour laws and constitutional safeguards already prohibit forced labour and comply with international standards. The decision comes while India and the US continue negotiations on a broader trade agreement, making the outcome of ongoing trade talks and a second Section 301 investigation crucial for future bilateral trade relations.

Trump Praises Modi as Trade Talks Advance, But New Tariff Threat Raises Stakes
As India and the United States move closer to finalizing a long-awaited trade agreement, U.S. President Donald Trump has described Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a “good friend” and highlighted the strong relationship between the two nations.
However, alongside the friendly remarks, the Trump administration has proposed additional tariffs on imports from several countries, including India. The proposed measures, linked to concerns over labor standards and supply chain monitoring, could affect a wide range of products and add a new layer of complexity to ongoing trade negotiations.
Recent talks in New Delhi reportedly made significant progress on key issues such as market access, customs procedures, trade facilitation, and economic cooperation. Officials from both countries have indicated that most major differences have been resolved and that negotiations are approaching the final stage.
The contrasting signals—public praise for Modi alongside the threat of higher tariffs—highlight Washington’s dual-track strategy of strengthening strategic ties while seeking greater trade concessions. The outcome of upcoming discussions could shape the future of one of the world’s most important economic partnerships.
India-US Trade Talks Begin Today, Focus on Finalizing Interim Trade Deal
India and the United States have launched a crucial four-day round of trade negotiations aimed at finalizing the legal framework of a proposed Interim Trade Agreement. Led by senior trade officials from both countries, the discussions will focus on market access, tariff reductions, investment promotion, customs procedures, and non-tariff barriers. The talks are seen as a significant step toward a broader bilateral trade agreement that could strengthen economic ties between two of the world’s largest economies.
India and the US are back at the negotiating table for a key four-day trade dialogue. With discussions centered on tariffs, market access, investments, and trade facilitation, the outcome could pave the way for a larger bilateral trade agreement and deepen economic cooperation between the two strategic partners.
