Proclamation 11061 of September 8, 2026 Excluding Certain Canadian Products From Importation Into the United States in Response to Continued Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Alcoholic Beverages 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 in fact 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 products of Canada. 2. In 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), I temporarily suspended for 3 days the effective date of the additional ad valorem duties imposed under Proclamation 11046 after Canada expressed a commitment to remove the discrimination or unreasonable and unequal imposition at issue in Proclamation 11046. 3. On August 21, 2026, Canada reneged on its commitment, ceased negotiating in good faith, and did not remove the discrimination or unreasonable and unequal imposition at issue in Proclamation 11046. 4. Accordingly, at 12:01 a.m. eastern time on August 22, 2026, the 3-day suspension imposed by Proclamation 11056 lapsed, and the additional ad valorem duties imposed under Proclamation 11046 became effective. 5. I have received certain information, opinions, and recommendations from senior executive branch officials on the status of the circumstances involved in Proclamation 11046 and of negotiations between the United States and Canada regarding the discrimination or imposition described in Proclamation 11046. According to senior executive branch officials, rather than remove Canada's discriminatory treatment of or unreasonable and unequal imposition on U.S. alcoholic beverages, Canadian authorities maintained the discrimination and announced additional retaliation against the United States related to U.S. alcoholic beverages. For example, on August 27, 2026, the Government of Saskatchewan—which is one of two provinces that at the time of the signing of Proclamation 11046 and the effective date of the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11046 did not outright ban U.S. alcoholic beverages—announced that it would impose an additional 50 percent levy on U.S. alcoholic beverages, effective September 8, 2026, expressly ( printed page 58312) in response to the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11046. In my senior executive branch officials' opinion, an import ban on certain Canadian alcoholic beverages currently subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11046 is consistent with the interests of the United States and the public interests. 6. 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 find it to be a fact that Canada has, after the issuance of Proclamation 11046 and after the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11046 became effective, maintained or increased the discriminations against the commerce of the United States described in Proclamation 11046. 7. I determine that it is consistent with the interests of the United States to issue this further proclamation directing that certain products of Canada that are currently subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11046 be excluded from importation into the United States. I determine that it is consistent with the public interests to exclude from importation into the United States certain alcoholic beverages of Canada that are currently subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11046, as further detailed in the Annex to this

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.
