Imposing Additional Duties to Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States with Respect to Alcoholic Beverages
This proclamation declares that Canadian provinces and territories have effectively banned or restricted U.S. alcoholic beverages beginning March 2025, and it proclaims actions to offset that discrimination for the period covered by the proclamation. The proclamation directs U.S. trade and customs authorities to impose additional duties on specified imports from Canada to offset the estimated harm, noting U.S. exports of alcoholic beverages to Canada fell about 81 percent (from ~$718 million to ~$137 million) in the March 2025–February 2026 period.
