Proclamation 11056 Suspends Section 338 Duties on Canada for Three Days (Alcoholic Beverages, Dairy, Motor-Vehicle Response)
Proclamation 11056 of August 18, 2026 (91 FR 54789) suspended for three days the 50 percent additional duties imposed under section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 by Proclamations 11046, 11047 and 11048 on Canadian alcoholic beverages (heading 9903.03.12), dairy-related products (9903.03.13) and the motor-vehicle-response list (9903.03.14), moving their effective date from August 19 to 12 01 a.m. ET on August 22, 2026. Entries from August 19 through 21 owed no Section 338 duty.
What changed
The White House temporarily suspended additional duties imposed on Canadian alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and motor vehicles that were enacted as retaliation for alleged Canadian discrimination in trade. The suspension represents a pause in the retaliatory duty regime and signals potential bilateral negotiation or resolution of the underlying trade dispute.
