Copper-laden ships race to reach US ahead of Trump's 50% tariffs
At least four ships carrying copper are trying to reach US ports before August to get ahead of planned import tariffs on the metal. The shipments represent the final scramble by merchants to cash in on a lucrative arbitrage trade that has upended the global copper market since US President Donald Trump first floated the idea of copper tariffs . The urgency to secure imports increased in the past two weeks after Trump announced the levy would be 50% starting Aug. 1.

The firm can't identify who owns the cargo, but it said two other recent US-bound shipments from the port contained copper from Glencore Plc's Mount Isa Mines. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play War Thunder now for free War Thunder Play Now Undo Port data show that the Kiating was originally scheduled to land in New Orleans, but changed its destination to Hawaii after Trump's announcement — cutting its likely voyage time by almost 20 days. Even so, the cargo owner will be in a race against time to register the metal with the local customs office once the vessel arrives. 'It's hard to say how efficient clearance will be in Hawaii, given that it's such an atypical destination for this cargo,' said Ben Ayre, lead dry-bulk shipping analyst at Kpler. Live Events Bloomberg In Latin America, three vessels brimming with Chilean copper are also rushing to get to US ports. Cargo ship Louise Auerbach is near Colombia's Buenaventura port and en route for a July 28 arrival at Tampa, Florida, according to data compiled by Bloomberg and people with knowledge of the voyage. The BBC Norway is in Panama and the BBC Campana is anchored off northern Chile's coast, according to the latest shipping data. The vessels are among the last batch of copper cargoes whose owners are betting they can clear US customs just before the tariff bites. For reference, the difference between arriving ahead of the levy and having to pay it would be more than $70 million on a typical bulk carrier cargo of 15,000 tons. The voyage from northern Chile to southern US takes 10 to 15 days. To boost the chances of landing before the tariffs, shippers can attempt to clear customs for the entire cargo at their first US port of call. They can also pay for preferential spots in the lineups, turning what can be days of waiting into just hours. Bloomberg With copper prices surging in the US, traders including Glencore, Mercuria Energy Group, Trafigura Group, Hartree Partners LP and IXM SA have shipped huge volumes to US ports since Trump ordered the Commerce Secretary in February to consider tariffs as part of an probe into the impact of foreign copper on the US. The tariff trade allowed those firms to capture profits that industry veterans say are the biggest they've ever seen. A 50% copper tariff is double what many analysts and traders expected, and prices in New York surged even more after Trump's July 8 tariff announcement, creating even bigger potential profits for traders who can get vessels to America in time. With copper trading at close to $9,900 a ton on the London Metal Exchange, a 50% levy would mean US buyers need to pay a further $4,950 to customs authorities to import copper into the country. Nominally, traders stand to make nearly as much in profit if they can import the metal before the tariffs land in less than two weeks. Traders are still awaiting key details about the tariffs, particularly whether there will be a grace period for cargoes that are already on the water — as there have been when similar levies were imposed on aluminium and steel. US front-month copper futures are now trading at a record premium over LME prices, with gap reaching about $2,750 a ton on Wednesday. That's about 28% above the price in London. The metal fell 0.4% on the LME to $9,853 a ton as of 10:15 a.m. in Shanghai.

One of the key drivers behind this growth is the Indian sports equipment manufacturing sector, which is seeing steady expansion. Live Events Currently, the sports sector accounts for approximately 0.9 per cent of India's GDP, which is on par with several top sporting nations. The sector also has a strong connection with other industries like media, telecom, education, real estate, and tourism. This close association gives the sports industry a large multiplier effect, helping to boost overall economic and social development, including health and well-being. The report further stated that India's sports goods exports have grown steadily in recent years, reflecting strong global demand and local manufacturing strength. During the first ten months of FY25 (April 2024 to January 2025), sports goods exports stood at USD 497.3 million. CareEdge Ratings expects this number to rise further and reach around USD 660.0 million by FY26. India exports about 60 per cent of its sporting goods, with two major production hubs, Jalandhar in Punjab and Meerut in Uttar Pradesh, together accounting for nearly 75-80 per cent of total production. Besides these established centres, new manufacturing regions are emerging in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Delhi, and Jammu. These new hubs are focusing on niche segments such as sportswear, synthetic materials, and indoor sports accessories. With ample room for expansion, the report stated that supportive reforms and infrastructure development will play a key role in boosting the sector's contribution to the economy in the coming years.
