US to Impose Tariffs on Honduras Over Forced Labor

Published on Honduras Daily · Jul 23, 2026 · Originally reported July 22, 2026 by Radio HRN

The United States will impose tariffs of at least 2.5% on about 60 countries, including Honduras, citing forced labor and child labor in supply chains, a move that threatens Honduran exports of coffee, melons, and lobster, which already face duties ranging from 10% to 25%.
