New U.S. Tariffs Hit 60 Nations: Here Are the Rates for the EU and Russia.

America's Latest Import Tariffs

According to UATV: Starting July 24, the United States will impose new import duties on goods from 60 countries, including all European Union member states and Russia. The move stems from what Washington deems insufficient compliance with bans on forced labor. Notably, any merchandise already en route will be exempt from these tariffs until 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on July 28. This policy represents a significant escalation in U.S. efforts to enforce labor standards globally.

Tariff Rates by Country

For the European Union and Taiwan, the minimum tariff rate will be set at 10%. Goods from Japan, Switzerland, and South Korea face a minimum of 12.5%, a rate that also applies to products from dozens of other nations. Mexico, the United Kingdom, Canada, and India will see a 10% rate. Russia, however, is subject to the highest tariff of all affected countries. These new measures are part of a broader U.S. campaign against forced labor in international supply chains.

It is worth recalling that in February 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down reciprocal tariffs ranging from 10% to 50% that had been introduced in 2025. The current duties underscore America's ongoing commitment to combating forced labor worldwide and highlight the growing importance of human rights compliance in global trade networks.

By targeting dozens of nations with these new import taxes, the United States is signaling a sustained crackdown on forced labor. The economic pressure from these tariffs could reshape international trade patterns and push countries to reassess their labor practices and human rights records to avoid future penalties.
