Official record excerpt
( printed page 58339) Proclamation 11065 of September 8, 2026 Modifying the Scope of Products of Canada Subject to the Additional Duties Imposed To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Motor Vehicles A Proclamation 1. 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 in fact 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 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 11048 after Canada expressed a commitment to remove the discrimination or unreasonable and unequal imposition at issue in Proclamation 11048. 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 11048. 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 11048 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 11048 and the effect of the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11048, including how effectively those duties are offsetting the burden or disadvantage on U.S. commerce. According to senior executive branch officials, although the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11048 offset the burden or disadvantage on U.S. commerce, modifying the scope of products subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11048 would still offset the burden or disadvantage on U.S. commerce and better serve the public interest. In my senior executive branch officials' opinion, modifying the scope of products subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11048 is required by the public interests and is consistent with the interests of the United States. ( printed page 58340) 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 determine that the public interests require modifying the scope of products subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11048. 7. In my judgment, the modification in this proclamation will offset the burden or disadvantage on U.S. commerce, is consistent with the public interests and the interests of the United States, is required by the public interests, and will better serve the public interest. 8. 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) and not to take effect earlier than 30 days after the President's proclamation finding that a foreign country is imposing an unreasonable charge, exaction, regulation, or limitation that is not equally enforced on the like articles of every foreign country, or discriminates in fact against U.S. commerce in a way that places the commerce of the United States at a disadvantage compared to the commerce of any foreign country. Section 338 also authorizes the

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.
