    Trump proclaims import ban on certain Canadian dairy products under Section 338, effective September 29, 2026

    Proclamation 11062 of 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 proclamation states that Canada maintained the dairy tariff-rate quota allocation measures found in Proclamation 11047 to discriminate against U.S. commerce, and that the 50 percent duty imposed by Proclamation 11047 took effect August 22, 2026 after the 3-day suspension in Proclamation 11056 lapsed.

    Why it matters: Entries of the Canadian products listed in the Annex on or after September 29, 2026 are excluded from importation, while goods imported but not yet entered or withdrawn from warehouse before that date remain subject to the 50 percent duty rate under Proclamation 11047.

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

    A presidential proclamation signed 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 excluded products are those currently subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed under Proclamation 11047, which took effect August 22, 2026 at a 50 percent rate after the 3-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 Goods imported but not yet entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, before September 29, 2026 remain subject to the 50 percent duty rate.

    Why it matters: Importers of the Canadian products listed in the Annex must have goods entered for consumption or withdrawn from warehouse before 12:01 a.m. eastern time on September 29, 2026 to remain under the 50 percent duty rather than the import ban.
