Official record excerpt
Proclamation 11056 of August 18, 2026 Temporary Suspension of Additional Duties To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Alcoholic Beverages, Dairy, and Motor Vehicles A Proclamation 1. In Proclamation 11046 of July 20, 2026 (Imposing Additional Duties to Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Alcoholic Beverages), I found as a fact that Canada is discriminating against the commerce of the United States by banning the purchase, distribution, or retailing of U.S. alcoholic beverages while not banning or similarly restricting such products from other countries; that this discrimination places the commerce of the United States at a disadvantage compared to the commerce of other countries; and that Canada's imposition is unreasonable, is not equally enforced upon the like articles of every foreign country, and places a burden on the commerce of the United States. To offset the burden or disadvantage on U.S. commerce from Canada's discrimination or unreasonable and unequal imposition on U.S. alcoholic beverages, I imposed under section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 ( 19 U.S.C. 1338 ) (section 338) additional ad valorem duties, effective August 19, 2026, on certain imports of Canada. 2. In Proclamation 11047 of July 20, 2026 (Imposing Additional Duties to Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Dairy), I found as a fact that Canada is discriminating against the commerce of the United States through Canada's tariff-rate quota allocation measures imposed on U.S. cheeses of all types; that this discrimination places the commerce of the United States at a disadvantage compared to the commerce of other countries; and that Canada's imposition is unreasonable, is not equally enforced upon the like articles of every foreign country, and places a burden on the commerce of the United States. To offset the burden or disadvantage on U.S. commerce from Canada's discrimination or unreasonable and unequal imposition on U.S. dairy, I imposed under section 338 additional ad valorem duties, effective August 19, 2026, on certain imports of Canada. 3. In Proclamation 11048 of July 20, 2026 (Imposing Additional Duties to Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Motor Vehicles), I found as a fact that Canada is discriminating against the commerce of the United States through Canada's motor vehicle tariff scheme; that this discrimination places the commerce of the United States at a disadvantage compared to the commerce of other countries; and that Canada's imposition is unreasonable, is not equally enforced upon the like articles of every foreign country, and places a burden on the commerce of the United States. To offset the burden or disadvantage on U.S. commerce from Canada's discrimination or unreasonable and unequal imposition on U.S. auto and auto parts exports, I imposed under section 338 additional ad valorem duties, effective August 19, 2026, on certain imports of Canada. 4. I have received certain information, opinions, and recommendations from senior executive branch officials on the status of the circumstances involved ( printed page 54790) in Proclamations 11046, 11047, and 11048 and of negotiations between the United States and Canada regarding the discriminations or impositions described in Proclamations 11046, 11047, and 11048. According to senior executive branch officials, Canada has expressed a commitment to remove the discriminations or unreasonable and unequal impositions at issue in Proclamations 11046, 11047, and 11048. In these officials' opinion, because of the status of these negotiations, the public interests favor suspending for a period of 3 days the additional duties imposed in Proclamations 11046, 11047, and 11048. 5. After considering the information, opinions, and recommendations that have been provided to me by senior executive branch officials, among other relevant information and considerations, I determine that in these circumstances, the public interest requires suspending for a period of 3 days the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11046, 11047, and 11048. 6. Section 338 authorizes the President, if he determines it will serve the public interest, to offset any burden or disadvantage placed on the commerce of the United States by an unequal imposition or discrimination by a foreign country by specifying and declaring additional duties not to exceed 50 percent ad valorem (or

How to use this page
This is a source-record entry, not a truth-rating by itself. It preserves the action, date and original government publication so it can be connected to later claims, implementation records, court decisions, costs and measurable outcomes. Editorial claim reviews on this site use separate finding labels and explain the evidence for those findings.
