This action targets Canadian discrimination against U.S. alcoholic beverages, citing Canada's broken commitments and additional retaliation.

This proclamation modifies the list of Canadian products subject to a 50% ad valorem additional duty originally imposed under Proclamation 11046, effective September 15, 2026. It adds certain products to the duty (Annex I, Part A) and removes others (Annex I, Part B), based on recommendations from senior executive branch officials to better serve the public interest while still offsetting Canadian discrimination against U.S. alcoholic beverages. The action directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement the changes and maintains that the duties are in addition to any existing section 232 duties.
