Imposing Additional Duties to Offset Canadian Discrimination Against the Commerce of the United States with Respect to Dairy
This proclamation declares that Canada’s tariff‑rate quota allocation measures for cheeses under USMCA discriminate against U.S. dairy commerce compared with Canada’s treatment of EU cheese under CETA, and it proclaims actions to offset that discrimination effective July 20, 2026. The proclamation directs U.S. federal agencies to impose additional duties on specified Canadian dairy imports under section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 to offset the burden on U.S. commerce, specifying that duties apply to cheeses of all types exceeding in‑quota quantities under the relevant TRQs.
