President modifies Canadian auto duties scope effective Oct 30
U.S. importers of certain Canadian auto parts will see the 50% additional duty removed or retained beginning 12:01 a.m. ET on Oct 30, 2026.
Proclamation 11076, dated October 23, 2026, modifies the scope of Canadian products subject to the additional ad valorem duties imposed under Proclamation 11048. The changes become effective for goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on October 30, 2026.
Under the proclamation, products listed in Annex I, Part A are no longer subject to the 50 percent additional duty, while products listed in Annex I, Part B remain subject to that duty. The duties are imposed in addition to those authorized under section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962.
The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States is amended as set out in Annex II, with the same effective date, and will remain in effect unless expressly suspended, revoked, supplemented, amended, or terminated. Heads of each executive department and agency are directed to take all appropriate measures to implement the proclamation, and the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection will act in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury.
The action follows earlier proclamations: Proclamation 11048 (July 20, 2026) imposed the duties, Proclamation 11056 (August 18, 2026) temporarily suspended them for three days, and Proclamation 11065 (September 8, 2026) previously modified the product scope. The President cited section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 and section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974 as authority for the modification.
