U.S. imposes new 50% Section 338 tariffs and import bans on specified Canadian goods while removing others from prior 50% duties.

REGULATORY BRIEFING – U.S. SECTION 338 ACTIONS ON CANADIAN IMPORTS

1. What Changed

• The President, acting under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1338), has:
• Imposed 50% ad valorem Section 338 tariffs on additional Canadian-origin products.
• Removed certain Canadian-origin products from existing 50% Section 338 tariffs.
• Banned specified Canadian-origin alcohol, dairy, and motor vehicle products from importation into the United States.
• These measures modify and expand the Section 338 actions originally taken on July 20, 2026, targeting Canadian motor vehicles, alcoholic beverages, and dairy.
• The President also directed removal of USD 50 billion of Canadian-origin products from GSA Multiple Award Schedules (government procurement impact; not directly an HTS/tariff change but relevant for federal contractors).

• New rate: 50% ad valorem Section 338 tariff on Canadian-origin goods (in addition to any normal MFN/other duties and applicable trade remedies, if any).
• Old rate: Previously not subject to this 50% Section 338 duty (only standard tariff treatment applied).
• For all HTS codes listed in the “Products No Longer Covered by Section 338 Tariffs” sections, the change is:
• Old rate: 50% ad valorem Section 338 tariff on Canadian-origin goods.
• New rate: 0% additional Section 338 duty (reverts to standard tariff treatment; any other applicable duties remain).
• For all HTS codes listed in the Alcohol, Dairy, and Motor Vehicles Annexes as “excluded from importation,” the change is:
• Old status: Admissible subject to applicable duties (including any prior Section 338 tariffs where relevant).
• New status: Importation of Canadian-origin goods under these HTS codes is prohibited (import ban). Duty rate is effectively moot because entry is not permitted.

4. Dates

• The statement references that the original Section 338 actions were taken on July 20, 2026.
• The annexes are dated via White House URLs in September 2026, indicating these modifications are subsequent to July 20, 2026.
• Exact effective dates and any phase-in/termination dates are set in the Presidential proclamations referenced in the USTR/White House links and must be confirmed there for operational use.

Key action for compliance: Consult the specific Presidential proclamations linked in the USTR/White House notices to confirm the precise effective date and any retroactivity or sunset provisions before applying changes to entries.

5. Required Actions for Importers, Brokers, and Compliance Teams

A. Screening and Classification

1) Identify exposure:

• Run reports of all imports of Canadian-origin goods under the listed HTS codes over the past 12–24 months.
• Flag any active purchase orders, contracts, or in-transit shipments involving these HTS codes from Canada.

2) Confirm HTS classification:

• Re-validate HTS classifications for affected products, especially where scope limitations (e.g., “Packaged,” container size, value per liter, specific notes) apply.
• Where classification is uncertain, seek binding rulings or guidance from CBP.

B. For Products Now BANNED from Importation

• Immediately cease placing new orders from Canada for:
• Alcohol HTS codes listed in Alcohol Annex I.
• Dairy/whey/molasses/non-alcoholic beer HTS codes listed in Dairy Annex I.
• Motorcycles over 800 cc under 8711.50.00 from Canada.
• For in-transit or on-the-water shipments:
• Review effective date in the proclamations; if arrival will be on/after the effective date, coordinate with carriers and suppliers on diversion, return, or alternative sourcing.
• Prepare for potential exclusion from entry and possible re-export or destruction if goods arrive after the ban is effective.
• Update internal admissibility controls:
• Configure broker instructions and internal systems to block Canadian-origin entries under banned HTS codes.
• Train logistics and purchasing teams on the new prohibitions.

C. For Products Newly Subject to 50% Section 338 Tariffs

• Update duty calculations:
• Configure customs entry software and broker instructions to apply an additional 50% ad valorem Section 338 duty on Canadian-origin goods under the newly covered HTS codes.
• Ensure finance and pricing teams understand the increased landed cost.
• Review contracts and pricing:
• Revisit supply contracts with Canadian vendors to address cost-sharing or renegotiation due to the 50% duty.
• Consider alternative sourcing from non-Canadian suppliers where feasible.
• Entry documentation:
• Ensure origin documentation clearly identifies Canadian origin; misdeclaration risks severe penalties.
• Monitor for potential transshipment risks through third countries.

D. For Products REMOVED from 50% Section 338 Tariffs

• Adjust duty payments going forward:
• Stop applying the 50% Section 338 duty to Canadian-origin goods under the HTS codes listed as “no longer covered.”
• Review past entries:
• If the effective date of removal is retroactive or earlier than current date, evaluate potential duty refund opportunities (e.g., post-summary corrections, protests) for entries where 50% Section 338 duty was paid after the removal date.
• Coordinate with brokers to identify affected entry lines and file corrections within statutory deadlines.

E. Broker and System Updates

• Provide brokers with a written instruction sheet summarizing:
• HTS codes banned from import (by origin Canada).
• HTS codes newly subject to 50% Section 338 duty.
• HTS codes no longer subject to 50% Section 338 duty.
• Update internal HTS/tariff databases and trade compliance tools to reflect:
• New duty rates and bans for Canadian-origin goods.
• Any Chapter 99 or special program indicators specified in the proclamations (to be confirmed in the full texts).

F. Risk Management and Communication

• Communicate with internal stakeholders (procurement, sales, finance, logistics) about:
• Impact on cost, supply continuity, and product availability.
• Need to adjust sourcing strategies away from Canada for affected items.
• Monitor for further changes:
• Section 338 actions can be further modified if Canada changes its measures; maintain ongoing monitoring of USTR and White House announcements.
