How the US copper tariff works in 2026

The US copper tariff in 2026 is driven mainly by Section 232 โ€” a national-security measure that sits on top of the normal HTS duty. It applies at roughly 50% on raw and semi-finished copper, with derivative and finished articles often at 25%. The current structure took effect 2025-08 (modified Jun 8 2026).

Form and content matter: goods containing 15% or less copper by value are generally excluded from the Section 232 metal duty, while covered derivatives are charged on the copper content or full customs value depending on the current proclamation. Copper waste & scrap (HTS 7404) and some specialty alloys get differential treatment โ€” verify your exact code. This is why the calculator's Refine panel lets you set the product form โ€” the same HTS chapter can carry very different effective rates.

Country of origin then layers on top: the same copper shipment can cost far more from a higher-tier origin or one subject to Section 301 than from a USMCA partner. Enter your origin and value in the calculator above to see the base duty, the copper measure and the country layer itemised โ€” and confirm the final number with a customs broker before filing.
