U.S. import bans on specified Canadian alcoholic beverages, dairy products and motorcycles took effect at 12:01 a.m. Eastern on September 29 under three presidential proclamations signed earlier this month. President Donald Trump invoked Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, which permits exclusions when a foreign country maintains discrimination against U.S. commerce. The White House said the action responds to Canadian restrictions affecting U.S. exports of alcohol, dairy and motor vehicles. The proclamations replace earlier 50% duties for covered goods, while products imported before the start time but not yet entered for consumption remain subject to those duties.
