Scotch and other UK whisky entered the US tariff-free from 24 July 2026, ending the 10% duty imposed in April 2025 on a market worth about £1 billion a year to UK distillers.

A 50% US duty on Canadian beer, wine, cider and spirits took effect after a three-day pause, in retaliation for provinces' boycott of American alcohol, and Canada suspended trade talks and vowed dollar-for-dollar countermeasures.

Canadian spirits, wine and malt beer are barred from entering the US from 29 September 2026, escalating the 50% tariff into a near-total import ban over provinces' boycott of American alcohol.
