United States suspends additional duties on Canadian imports until August 22
Effective date of duties on certain Canadian goods postponed pending ongoing negotiations.
President Trump yesterday issued a proclamation delaying by three days the effective date of additional duties imposed under Proclamations 11046, 11047 and 11048, which imposed duties on certain Canadian imports to offset alleged Canadian discrimination affecting U.S. alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and motor vehicles.
The proclamation cites ongoing negotiations between the United States and Canada and statements from senior executive branch officials that Canada has expressed a commitment to remove the measures identified in the proclamations. As a result, the president determined that the public interest warrants a temporary suspension of the duties.
Accordingly, the additional duties will take effect on August 22, 2026, rather than August 19, 2026.
