Actions by the United States in the Investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 of the Acts, Policies, and Practices of 60 Economies Related to the Failure of Each Economy to Impose and Effectively Enforce a Prohibition on the Importation of Goods Produced with Forced Labor

The order directs federal agencies to implement actions following Section 301 investigations into 60 economies for failing to prohibit or effectively enforce bans on importing goods produced with forced labor, listing each economy by name and noting the Trade Representative found their practices unreasonable and burdensome to U.S. commerce. It instructs the United States Trade Representative and other relevant agencies to pursue remedies under the Trade Act of 1974, including proposed trade actions to eliminate the identified practices, and to carry out the specific remedies and enforcement measures detailed in the investigations.
