The new duties take effect on July 24 and range from 10 per cent to 12.5 per cent, depending on the status of each country's forced labour import regime.
According to the USTR, India moved into that category after adopting a forced labour import prohibition following the publication of the agency's proposed action in June.
"President Trump recognises that decades of moral suasion have not eradicated forced labour from global supply chains.
I am encouraged by the trading partners who have moved quickly to adopt forced labour import prohibitions, and look forward to ensuring their effective enforcement," Greer said.
Besides India, Cambodia, Guatemala, Honduras, Sri Lanka and Trinidad and Tobago also adopted forced labour import prohibitions after the investigations began.
