The proposed tariff rates differ based on an economy's stance on forced labor in trade. Economies that have fully or partially prohibited forced labor in their trade practices would face a 10% duty rate. All other economies included in the proposal would be subject to a 12.5% duty rate.

## Key Takeaways
