The White House has issued a proclamation delaying the implementation of additional duties established under Proclamations 11046, 11047, and 11048 by three days.
The key change for importers is that the additional ad valorem duties will now become effective at 12:01 a.m. ET on August 22, 2026, instead of August 19, 2026. The proclamations have been amended accordingly.
The duties relate to ongoing trade actions involving Canadian alcoholic beverages, dairy products, and motor vehicles. The Administration stated that the temporary suspension reflects ongoing negotiations with Canada and Canada’s commitment to address the issues underlying the announced duties.
A.N. Deringer will continue to monitor developments and provide updates as additional guidance becomes available.
