From @DeItaone|Jul 30, 2025|6 commentsWHITE HOUSE: TRUMP PROCLAMATION IMPOSES UNIVERSAL 50% TARIFFS ON IMPORTS OF SEMI-FINISHED COPPER PRODUCTS AND COPPER-INTENSIVE DERIVATIVE PRODUCTS EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1
Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump Takes Action to Address the Threat to National Security from Imports of Copper Today, President Donald J. Trump signed a Proclamation to address the effects of copper imports on America’s national security, including by imposing tariffs on several categories of copper imports. The Proclamation imposes universal 50% tariffs on imports of semi-finished copper products (such as copper pipes, wires, rods, sheets, and tubes) and copper-intensive derivative products (such as pipe fittings, cables, connectors, and electrical components), effective August 1. The copper 232 tariffs apply to the copper content of a product; non-copper content of a product remains subject to reciprocal tariffs or other applicable duties. These tariffs do not stack. The copper 232 tariffs do not stack with auto 232 tariffs. If a product is subject to auto 232 tariffs, then the auto 232 tariffs apply, not the copper 232 tariffs. Copper input materials (such as copper ores, concentrates, mattes, cathodes, and anodes) and copper scrap are not subject to 232 or reciprocal tariffs. The Proclamation directs the Secretary of Commerce to establish a product “inclusion” process to add copper derivative products to these tariffs. The President is also authorizing the Secretary of Commerce to take steps under the Defense Production Act to support the domestic copper industry, including: Requiring 25% of high-quality copper scrap produced in the Un
