FIEO urges Indian exporters to tighten traceability as US buyers raise forced-labour scrutiny
Indian exporters supplying textiles, electronics, seafood, metals, batteries and solar products should strengthen labour, wage, supplier and input records as US buyers may intensify due diligence after Section 301 tariff measures, FIEO said.
FIEO has urged Indian exporters to strengthen labour, wage, supplier and input-traceability records as US buyers may intensify forced-labour scrutiny following Section 301 tariff measures, affecting textiles, electronics, seafood, metals, batteries and solar supply chains.
Why this matters
FIEO's traceability call follows its warning that a 10% US tariff is raising pressure on Indian apparel, leather and footwear exports, and that US textile quotas could redirect exporters' input sourcing.
