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
By the President of the United States of America
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
[[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) 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 President to suspend,
revoke, supplement, or amend any proclamation under
section 338 whenever the President deems that the
public interests require such action. Further, section
338 authorizes the President to exclude from
importation articles of the foreign country if the
foreign country maintains or increases the
discrimination against the commerce of the United
States and the President deems the exclusion to be
consistent with the public interests and the interests
of the United States.
10. Section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended
(19 U.S.C. 2483) (section 604), authorizes the
President to embody in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS) the substance of statutes
affecting import treatment, and actions thereunder,
including the removal, modification, continuance, or
imposition of any rate of duty or other import
restriction.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the
United States of America, by the authority vested in me
by the Constitution and the laws of the United States,
including section 338; section 301 of title 3, United
States Code; and section 604, do hereby proclaim as
follows:
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this proclamation, certain products of
Canada, as set forth in the Annex to this proclamation, are excluded from
importation into the United States, effective with respect to goods
imported on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on September 29, 2026.
(2) Products that will be subject to the import ban in this proclamation
that were imported, but not yet entered for consumption, or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, prior to September 29, 2026, will remain subject
to the 50 percent duty rate established by Proclamation 11047.
(3) Besides changing certain products from being subject to the additional
ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11047 to being subject to the
import ban set forth in this proclamation, this proclamation does not
otherwise affect the products, as further established in the Proclamation
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 Dairy), that are subject to
the additional ad valorem duties imposed in Proclamation 11047.
[[Page 58321]]
(4) The head of each executive department and agency (agency) is authorized
to and shall take all appropriate measures within the agency's authority to
implement this proclamation. The head of each agency may, consistent with
applicable law, including section 301 of title 3, United States Code,
redelegate the authority to take such appropriate measures within the
agency.
(5) The Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in
consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce,
and the United States Trade Representative, is authorized to issue such
rules, regulations, guidance, instructions, or determinations as may be
necessary to implement this proclamation and is authorized to take any
necessary measures to administer the import ban imposed in this
proclamation.
(6) The Commissioner of CBP, in consultation with the Secretary of the
Treasury, the Secretary of Commerce, the United States Trade
Representative, the Chairman of the United States International Trade
Commission, and any other senior executive branch official he deems
appropriate, shall determine whether any additional modifications to the
HTSUS are necessary to effectuate this proclamation and shall make such
modifications to the HTSUS through notice in the Federal Register,
including any technical or ministerial correction to the Annex to this
proclamation.
(7) For any rule or regulation the Commissioner of CBP makes to implement
this proclamation, the Commissioner of CBP shall, to the extent required by
law, obtain the approval of the President or the United States Trade
Representative. The United States Trade Representative is delegated the
President's approval authority in 19 U.S.C. 1338(h).
(8) Any provision of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that is
inconsistent with this proclamation is superseded to the extent of such
inconsistency.
(9)(a) If any provision of this proclamation or the application of any
provision to any individual or circumstance is held to be invalid, the
remainder of this proclamation and the application of its provisions to any
other individuals or circumstances shall not be affected.
(b) If the import ban imposed in this proclamation is invalidated in
whole or in part as to any import, then the 50 percent ad valorem duty
imposed in Proclamation 11047 shall apply to the import to which the
invalidated import ban or the invalidated part of the import ban had
applied before its invalidation. No other import ban imposed in this
proclamation shall be affected, and no additional ad valorem duty imposed
in Proclamation 11047 or a proclamation issued subsequent to Proclamation
11047 shall be affected. This severability provision, including its
operative effect if triggered, 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.
