The US set a Section 301 tariff of 12.5% on Thai goods over forced labour. Countries with forced-labour import bans or ART commitments get 10%. Thailand is still finalising the ART trade agreement, aiming to keep total tariffs at 19% or lower, before the US announces its separate structural excess capacity ruling, which is still pending and not reflected in the 12.5% rate. Exporters should track official sources closely, since rates may change with each legal basis.
