Section 301 forced-labour measures place Indian imports in a lower tariff tier while preserving specified product exclusions.
Section 301 forced-labour import measures impose an additional ad valorem duty on imports from India, with India placed in a lower additional-tariff tier than initially proposed. Specified exports that attract no additional duties, and goods already subject to Section 232 measures, remain outside the Section 301 additional duty. A substantial portion of Indian exports is therefore excluded, while the remaining exports are subject to the additional duty. The textile-specific mechanism has not yet been operationalised, and engagement continues in relation to that mechanism and bilateral trade agreement negotiations.

Import tariffs and energy costs heighten inflation risks, pressuring consumers, corporate profits and monetary-policy expectations amid market volatility.
Fresh tariffs on imports, rising energy prices and Middle East conflict are identified as concurrent pressures on global financial markets. The tariff measures apply to nearly all imports into the United States and are paid by importing companies, which typically pass the additional costs to consumers. Higher energy costs and tariffs may increase inflationary pressure, reduce household discretionary spending and affect corporate profitability, while influencing monetary-policy expectations. Investors also questioned whether substantial artificial-intelligence investment can support technology-sector valuations.
