There are a number of major import tariff changes beginning 12:01AM EST on August 1, 2025. Note that these changes are effective based on entry date, not the date of vessel / aircraft departure. Shipments with an entry date on or after this time will be impacted by the new tariffs.

Section 232 Copper Tariff
President Trump formally issued a proclamation regarding section 232 copper tariffs. The fact sheet published on the White House website provided the following details:

• The tariff will be effective August 1, 2025.
• The tariff will be 50%.
• The tariff will cover imports of “semi-finished copper products (such as copper pipes, wire, rods sheets, and tubes) and copper-intensive derivative products (such as pipe fittings, cables, connectors, and electrical components). We do NOT yet have an exact list of HTS numbers that will be covered by the tariff. We will provide this information as soon as it is available.
• As with the section 232 steel and aluminum tariff, the copper tariff will be assessed only on the copper content of the product. Non-copper content will not be subject to the copper tariff, but instead will be subject to the reciprocal tariff.
• Products subject to the automobile / auto-parts section 232 tariff will not be subject to the section 232 copper tariff.

Reciprocal Tariffs
For the past three months, products from all countries, have been subject to a 10% reciprocal tariff. On August 1, 2025, the reciprocal tariff rate will be changing. The exception is for products from China, which will face a potential change on August 13, 2025.

The initial reciprocal tariff for various countries was published on the Annex I list back in April 2025. However, the rates for some of these countries have since changed. Here are the countries that have purported updated reciprocal tariff rates. Most of this information is from Trump’s social media posts. There are few official government publications as of this moment.

• Brazil – Products from Brazil will face a reciprocal tariff of 50%.
• India – News reports today indicates that products from India will face a reciprocal tariff of 25%. Furthermore, Trump has threatened an additional “penalty” to be assessed on products from India due to India’s purchasing of Russian oil. We do have any details about the extent of the “penalty” and how it will be applied.
• Japan – Products from Japan will be subject to a reciprocal tariff of 15% after an agreement. There is no formal publication of details on the White House website or Federal Register.
• EU – News reports indicate that the European Union has a deal whereby the reciprocal tariff would be 15%. This is a decrease from the initial Annex I rate of 20%. There is no formal publication of details on the White House website or Federal Register.
• Indonesia – News reports indicate that Indonesia has a deal whereby the reciprocal tariff would be 19%. This is a decrease from the initial Annex I listed rate of 32%. There is no formal publication of details on the White House website or Federal Register.
• Vietnam – News reports indicate that Vietnam has a deal whereby the reciprocal tariff would be 20%. This is a decrease from the initial Annex I listed rate of 46%. There is no formal publication of details on the White House website or Federal Register.
• United Kingdom – Products from the UK will face a reciprocate tariff of 10%.

Trump also announced the following earlier this month on Truth Social, but there still remains no formal announcement.

• South Korea – goods from South Korea are still scheduled to face the same 25% tariff initially mentioned in Annex I. There are news reports that South Korea is still working on an agreement to lower this tariff.
• Malaysia – goods from Malaysia face a 25% tariff instead of the initially published 24% rate.
• Kazakhstan – goods from Kazakhstan face a 25% rate instead of the initially published 27% rate.
