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
By the President of the United States of America
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.
[[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 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.
9. 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 Annex I, Part A to this proclamation, imported into
the United States shall be subject to the additional ad valorem duty of 50
percent imposed pursuant to Proclamation 11048. In addition, certain
products of Canada, as set forth in Annex I, Part B to this proclamation,
imported into the United States shall no longer be subject to the
additional ad valorem duty of 50 percent imposed pursuant to Proclamation
11048. The duties imposed pursuant to Proclamation 11048, as modified in
this proclamation, shall apply in addition to duties imposed pursuant to
section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, as amended (19 U.S.C.
1862). These changes shall be effective with respect to goods entered for
consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01
a.m. eastern time on September 15, 2026.
(2) The HTSUS is modified as provided in Annex II to this proclamation,
effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on September
15, 2026, and the modifications shall continue in effect unless this action
is expressly suspended, revoked, supplemented, amended, or terminated.
(3) 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
[[Page 58341]]
Code, redelegate the authority to take such appropriate measures within the
agency.
(4) 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 this proclamation.
(5) 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 annexes to this
proclamation.
(6) 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).
(7) Any provision of previous proclamations and Executive Orders that is
inconsistent with this proclamation is superseded to the extent of such
inconsistency.
(8) 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.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this
eighth day of September, in the year of our Lord two
thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the
United States of America the two hundred and fifty-
first.
