US Imposes 10%-12.5% Tariffs on About 60 Economies; Two Importers Sue to Challenge Legality

President Trump's latest round of global tariffs took effect July 24 under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, imposing 10% to 12.5% duties on imports from about 60 economies deemed insufficiently enforcing bans on forced-labor products. Two importers, Burlap & Barrel Inc. and Collective Horology LLC, have filed a lawsuit at the U. S. Court of International Trade in Manhattan, arguing the tariffs unlawfully replace previous measures struck down by the Supreme Court. The plaintiffs, represented by the Liberty Justice Center, assert that the administration is again claiming unilateral tariff power.
