AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

US Tariffs on Forced Labor: The Trump administration is rolling out new 10%–12.5% tariffs on imports from 60 trading partners starting Friday, replacing an expiring temporary global 10% duty. The move is tied to Section 301 claims that some countries have not effectively enforced bans on goods made with forced labor, with many products exempted (including oil and gas and some food items). Ecuador in the Mix: Ecuador is listed among the countries facing the lower 10% rate, reflecting commitments tied to forced-labor import prohibitions. Canada–Ecuador Trade Deal: Canada and Ecuador are also signing a free trade agreement in Ottawa, with Ecuador’s production/foreign trade minister expected to attend; talks concluded in early 2025 and would remove tariffs on Canadian imports. Ecuador Links to Illicit Trade: A report on a major cocaine seizure in Italy says 770 kg of cocaine hidden in banana shipments from Ecuador included Serbian flag markings, prompting questions about possible Balkan trafficking links.
