Description

This Presidential Proclamation imposes additional ad valorem duties of 50 percent on certain products of Canada to offset Canadian discrimination against U.S. commerce with respect to dairy products. The discrimination arises from Canada's tariff-rate quota allocation measures under trade agreements that favor EU dairy products over U.S. dairy products. The duties are intended to address the burden and disadvantage placed on U.S. commerce and support U.S. dairy producers and exporters. The proclamation authorizes modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States and directs relevant agencies to implement the duties effective August 19, 2026.
