    Trump proclamation bans imports of certain Canadian motor vehicle products from September 29, 2026

    A presidential proclamation issued September 8, 2026 excludes certain products of Canada, as set forth in its Annex, from importation into the United States, effective for goods imported on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on September 29, 2026. The products covered are those currently subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed by Proclamation 11048, which took effect August 22, 2026 at a 50 percent rate after the three-day suspension in Proclamation 11056 lapsed. Goods imported but not yet entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, before September 29, 2026 remain subject to the 50 percent duty rate established by Proclamation 11048.

    Why it matters: Importers of the Canadian products listed in the Annex must stop entering them for consumption or withdrawing them from warehouse on or after September 29, 2026, while goods entered before that date remain subject to the 50 percent duty under Proclamation 11048.
