India to challenge US tariffs, disputes forced labour findings as legally flawed

India plans to formally contest proposed US tariffs on its exports next week, targeting findings made by the US Trade Representative. Indian officials and industry bodies will present counter-arguments disputing the alleged forced labour claims. They argue that India has a strong legal framework and adequate compliance systems in place. The Indian side also contends that imposing such tariffs would negatively impact both Indian exporters and American businesses and consumers.
