Trump changes which Canadian products face the 50% Section 338 duty, effective 30 October

The proclamation says products of Canada listed in Annex I, Part A "shall no longer be subject to the additional ad valorem duty of 50 percent imposed pursuant to Proclamation 11048", while products listed in Annex I, Part B "shall be subject to" that duty. The changes apply to goods entered "on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern time on October 30, 2026", and the duties apply in addition to Section 232 duties. According to Annex I, products losing the duty include certain plywood, plastic and paper packaging, refrigerating equipment and packing machinery; products gaining it include sweetened cocoa powder, paints and varnishes, shampoos and soaps, wood flooring and fiberboard, and carpets and rugs.
