Proclamation Reshuffles Which Canadian Products Face 50% Extra Duty

October 30, 2026

The proclamation frames the change as a targeted adjustment that “would still offset the burden or disadvantage on U.S. commerce and better serve the public interest.” In practice it both removes the 50 percent additional duty from some Canadian motor-vehicle-related products and imposes that same 50 percent duty on a different set of Canadian products. The net effect is a reallocation of which specific Canadian items face the extra tariff rather than a broad increase or decrease in coverage. The duties continue to apply on top of any section 232 tariffs. No new exclusion authority is exercised in this document. Open questions remain about the exact product codes affected, which are detailed only in the annex tables and subject to later technical corrections by Customs and Border Protection.
