The Trump administration is ramping up tariffs<\/a> on imports from at least 60 of its trading partners, whose members of the cabinet claim have failed to \u201cimpose and effectively enforce forced labor laws.\u201d<\/p>\n On Thursday, senior administration officials said<\/a> countries that have already banned imports made with forced labor or have agreed to adopt and enforce them will face a 10% tariff on their exports to the United States. While countries that have not enacted laws will face an increased 12.5% tariff.<\/p>\n REUTERS<\/p>\n Those tariffs \u2014 an import tax paid when goods enter the US \u2014 will begin at 12:01 a.m. on July 24 and will replace a temporary 10% surcharge. The policy aims to \u201creward\u201d countries with stronger labor laws by setting a lower tariff rate.<\/p>\n \u201cThe United States has had a forced labor<\/a> import ban for nearly a century, and rigorously enforces it; it\u2019s well past time for our trading partners to do the same,\u201d said US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.<\/p>\n \u201cToday\u2019s action will begin to correct what is both a human rights abuse and a distortive trade practice to improve the welfare of workers everywhere,\u201d Greer added.<\/p>\n Those facing a 10% tariff are: Argentina, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Canada, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, India, Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago and the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n Over 30 countries are bracing for the 12.5% spike, such as China, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Philippines.<\/p>\n An Administration official noted that India was given a break with the lower 10% rate after it passed a law preventing products made with forced labor.<\/p>\n Last year, when President Trump announced Liberation Day Getty Images<\/p>\n Earlier this week, President Trump hit Canada with 50% tariffs<\/a> to combat what the administration described as \u201ccontinuous discrimination\u201d on American products.<\/p>\n A new round of tariffs will likely mean some more added costs for consumers<\/a>. The Post put together a list of items that shoppers may see increase in the coming year.<\/p>\n Clothing<\/p>\n The majority of clothing from the US is imported, with some reports stating nearly $16.9 billion worth of apparel items and accessories were imported, with Vietnam leading at the helm. China and Bangladesh were other key import partners.<\/p>\n With all three of those countries at the highest tariff level, 12.5%, Americans will likely see their clothing costs increase. Raw fibers are typically cleaned, spun and dyed into cloth across large textile hubs in China, India and Pakistan.<\/p>\n Electronics<\/p>\n China\u2019s largest export to the US is telephones and other mobile devices, accounting for over $50 billion in annual trade, according to OEC<\/a>. With the new tariffs stamped onto China\u2019s goods, those are likely to see a spike.<\/p>\n Additionally, the country supplies roughly 21% to 29% of US electronic imports, including smartphones, laptops, and circuit boards, according to the US Trade Commission<\/a>.<\/p>\n Mexico is also a large electronics importer, supplying the US with insulated wires and cables, telephone and communication equipment and more. While the tariffs on Mexico didn\u2019t necessarily increase, the new round replaces the expired rates.<\/p>\n President Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney; Trump has hit Canada with 50% tariffs<\/p>\n Food and drink<\/p>\n
