This proclamation bans imports of certain Canadian products, escalating a trade dispute over Canada's motor vehicle tariffs. It builds on prior actions under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to impose an import exclusion, effective September 29, 2026, for goods currently subject to a 50% duty. The measure directs U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement the ban and removes these products from the tariff regime, potentially disrupting supply chains in automotive and related sectors.
