Racing Copper Ships & Smarter Recycling: How ReMatter Helps Yards Navigate Tariff Turbulence

As 50% tariffs on copper imports loom on August 1, the global supply chain is scrambling. Traders are rerouting ships, rushing deliveries, and racing customs deadlines to beat the financial hit. U.S. copper prices have surged more than 13%, and the spread between global (LME) and domestic (CME) pricing is growing fast.
If you buy, sell, or process copper scrap, this affects you.
What This Means for Scrap Yards
Copper is central to most non-ferrous operations. When pricing shifts this quickly, it impacts:
- Inventory values
- Purchase and sales decisions
- Customer expectations
- Dispatch and logistics
- Profit margins
Staying ahead means staying agile.
