Dear Valued Client,
The President has announced on Truth Social that effective August 1, 2025, there will be a 50% tariff assessed on copper imports. The President states that copper is the second most used material by the Department of Defense.
The Administration ordered a Section 232 investigation on copper back in February. The President notes in his post that he has received robust National Security Assessment which results in the copper tariff announcement.
At this time, there is no official Executive Order addressing the copper tariffs.
