Update on copper tariffs from August 1, 2025
On July 30, 2025, President Donald J. Trump is an advertisement that imposes a 50 % tariff on semi -broken copper products and intensive copper products, starting from August 1, 2025. This follows the investigation in Section 232 by the Minister of Commerce on June 30, 2025, which was found that current imports are threatening to excessive American threat. Here is Full Fact Newspaper I found in Whitehouse.gov A website.
Copper is the second most widely used material by the US Department of Defense and is necessary for defense systems, aircraft, ships, vehicles, ammunition and critical infrastructure such as the electrical network and wireless and wireless communications, with no adequate alternatives to many applications. Therefore, copper tariffs will affect many different industries.
What is affected and what is otherwise
Products subject to new copper tariffs include 50 % immediately:
Copper wires, bars, panels, tubes and tubes
Cables, conductors, pipe facilities, and other electrical ingredients for the copper
The average of 50 % applies Immediately Starting August 1, 2025.
Definitions do not accumulate. If the product is covered under the tariff of Section 232, another (for example, cars), the tariff applies instead.
It is not subject to tariffs:
Copper and center materials
Copper
Cathodes, Anwoods and Al Maeah
Additional provisions of the advertisement
By June 30, 2026The secretary will review the market to decide on a tariff on a refined copper (15 % starting from 2027 and 30 % starting in 2028).
At least 25 % of copper input materials and high -quality copper sculptures should be sold locally, with potential control elements to export on the scrap.
Within 90 days of the advertisement, an process will be created to include additional copper derivatives under the customs tariff if necessary.
Customs protection and US border (CBP) will require accurate copper content advertisements and severe sanctions may be imposed on non -reporting, including fines, loss of import privileges, or criminal charges.
What does this mean to our customers and industry
The prices of copper -based cable products may rise as a result of increased definitions on imports.
The available customer times may be affected by changing supply chains and resource identification modifications throughout the industry.
Some items may see a more tight source or minimal amount of demand as distributors control stock levels.
As for the industry in general, manufacturers may turn towards more local sources and invest in refining and manufacturing in the United States. Export control items on copper scrap (planned for 2027) can change material flows, and competition may intensify local copper.
We actively reduce disturbances and secure stable stocks.
