AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 minutes agoTrade Policy Shock: The U.S. has launched new Section 301 tariffs tied to “forced labour” claims, replacing an expiring temporary 10% global duty. Honduras in the List: Honduras is among the 17 economies facing a 10% rate because Washington says they have adopted forced-labour import prohibitions or commitments. Broader Impact: The full package hits 60 trading partners with duties of 10% to 12.5%, covering about 99.4% of U.S. imports, though with product exemptions (including oil and gas, fertilizer, and some foods). Supply-Chain Watch: For exporters and importers, the key issue is compliance-linked tariff exposure by origin and product, with goods in transit treated differently until late July. Legal Backdrop: The move is designed to be less vulnerable than earlier Supreme Court-collapsed tariff actions, keeping the U.S. tariff floor in place.
