Proclamation 11055 Imposes §232 Duties of 100 and 25 Percent on Unmanned Aircraft Systems From September 3, 2026
Proclamation 11055 of August 13, 2026 (91 FR 53699), under §232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 (19 U.S.C. 1862), imposes a 100 percent ad valorem duty on Annex I unmanned aircraft systems (over 25 kg maximum takeoff weight, UAS with thermal imagers, docking stations and listed critical components) and a 25 percent duty on Annex II UAS at or under 25 kg, effective 12 01 a.m. ET September 3, 2026.
What changed
The White House issued Proclamation 11013 (or subsequent) adjusting import duties on unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and UAS components effective as of the proclamation date. This appears to be a post-IEEPA tariff action, likely grounded in §122 (BOP) or executive authority. The specific duty rates, effective dates, and covered product scopes require review of the full Federal Register notice.
