Washington DC, 24/7: United States on Thursday imposed a 10 per cent tariff on goods imported from India and 16 other countries over concerns of use of forced labour in the production of such products.
Last month, after the US had proposed tariffs under Section 301 of the Trade Act, India was bracketed among countries attracting 12.5 per cent levies. However, Washington has taken note of the amendment New Delhi made to its foreign trade policy prohibiting the import of goods produced using forced labour.
