This proclamation imposes an additional 50 percent ad valorem duty on certain Canadian products, effective August 19, 2026, using Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930.

Imposing Additional Duties To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Dairy
This proclamation imposes an additional 50 percent ad valorem duty on certain Canadian products, effective August 19, 2026, to offset Canada's discriminatory dairy tariff-rate quota allocation measures under USMCA that favor EU cheese exporters over U.S. exporters.

Imposing Additional Duties To Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States With Respect to Motor Vehicles
This proclamation imposes an additional 50 percent ad valorem duty on certain Canadian products, effective August 19, 2026, to offset Canada's discriminatory tariff scheme against U.S. motor vehicles.
