CANADA Act

The CANADA Act directs the U.S. Trade Representative to investigate whether countries with free trade agreements, specifically including Canada, have stopped importing U.S. alcoholic beverages in a way that violates trade laws. Before taking any action, the bill requires the Trade Representative to consult with U.S. beverage manufacturers, federal agencies, and trade groups to ensure any measures are targeted and minimize unintended effects on consumers and allies. The legislation mandates the submission of detailed reports to Congress and the public every quarter for two years, detailing the status of these investigations and any enforcement steps taken.
