June 2 (Reuters) – The Trump \u2060administration \u2060on Tuesday proposed imposing additional duties \u2060of 10% or 12.5% on imports from 60 economies after determining their \u200bfailures to curb trade in goods made with forced labor are unreasonable and restrict U.S. commerce.<\/p>\n

\n

The proposal from the \u200cU.S. Trade Representative’s office is the \u200clatest finding from a Section 301 unfair trade practices investigation to be released as the Trump administration \u2060seeks to \u2060rebuild its emergency tariffs, which were struck down by a U.S. Supreme Court \u200bdecision in February.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

The USTR said it determined that it would impose 10% duties related to the forced labor investigation on imports from Canada, Ecuador, the European Union, Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan, Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Indonesia, Malaysia, \u200bTaiwan and Britain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The trade agency said it would impose additional duties of 12.5% on the remaining \u206045 countries \u2060that it investigated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“The failure of \u2060our most \u200bimportant trading partners to address the importation of goods made with forced labor is unacceptable,” U.S. Trade \u200bRepresentative Jamieson Greer said in \u2060a statement. “This creates a dynamic where American workers are forced to compete globally on an unlevel playing field.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The USTR said it also was proposing a textile mechanism that would allow for a certain volume of apparel and textile imports to enter the U.S. at a reduced tariff rate, though the duties and volumes \u2060were not disclosed.<\/p>\n

\n

The announcement comes ahead of the July 24 expiration of a 10% temporary \u2060tariff imposed by the Trump administration on February 20, the day the Supreme Court struck down U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

On Monday, the USTR proposed a 25% duty on many Brazilian goods as a result of a Section 301 investigation into the country’s digital trade practices and preferential tariffs. The trade agency is also expected to soon unveil the findings of another major Section 301 probe into the buildup of excess industrial capacity in 16 trading partners, including China.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In the forced labor findings, the USTR \u2060said it would exempt from the tariffs a number of products including energy, rare earths and certain other metals, beef, coffee, certain fruits and vegetables, pharmaceuticals, organic chemicals and aircraft parts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The USTR said it would accept public comments on the proposed tariffs and other remedies through \u200bJuly 6, with a public hearing scheduled for July 7.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
