( printed page 58319) Proclamation 11062 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 Dairy A Proclamation 1. 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 in fact 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 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 11047 after Canada expressed a commitment to remove the discrimination or unreasonable and unequal imposition at issue in Proclamation 11047. 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 11047. 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 11047 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 11047 and of negotiations between the United States and Canada regarding the discrimination or imposition described in Proclamation 11047. According to senior executive branch officials, after the issuance of Proclamation 11047 and after the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11047 became effective, Canada did not revoke its tariff-rate quota allocation measures involving dairy but has maintained the discrimination or unreasonable and unequal imposition at issue in Proclamation 11047. In my senior executive branch officials' opinion, an import ban on certain Canadian products currently subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11047 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 ( printed page 58320) relevant information and considerations, I find it to be a fact that Canada has, after the issuance of Proclamation 11047 and after the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11047 became effective, maintained the discriminations against the commerce of the United States described in Proclamation 11047. 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 shall 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 products of Canada that are currently subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11047, as further detailed in the Annex to this proclamation. 8. In my judgment, the action in this proclamation is consistent with the public interests and the interests of the United States, is required by the public interests, and will serve the public interest. 9. 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 its equivalent)

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.
